The recruitment team at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are exploring multiple options in an increasingly volatile transfer market.
Spurs are eyeing a move for Savinho and have reached an agreement in principle on personal terms.
However, finalising a deal has proved difficult, with Manchester City demanding a fee in the region of £60 million.
As a result, Tottenham are also closely monitoring Summerville. The 24-year-old is viewed as an ideal fit for manager Roberto De Zerbi’s tactical system.
With the ability to threaten Premier League defences from either flank, the ‘almost unstoppable‘ Summerville finished last season with seven goals and three assists across all competitions.
Following West Ham’s recent relegation, he is pushing for a high-profile move away from the London Stadium.
With Manchester United also interested, West Ham are seeking around £50m for their star asset – a substantial figure, but still lower than City’s demands for Savinho.
No formal offer has yet been submitted to West Ham, as Tottenham remain focused on finalising a deal for Savinho.
However, by opening talks with West Ham, Spurs have sent a subtle hint to City that they are prepared to walk away from negotiations if no compromise can be reached.
