After drawn-out negotiations spanning close to a year, Tottenham have confirmed the signing of Savinho.
The Brazilian international has signed a long-term deal at the club and will wear the No.17 shirt.
Savinho is set to be available to face Charlton Athletic in the second round of the Carabao Cup clash tomorrow, so he could well make his debut for the club.
The young winger has been speaking to the media after his arrival and has lavished praise on Roberto De Zerbi for convincing him to make the move.

“It’s taken a while but I’m very happy to be here,” said Savinho via Tottenham’s official website.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity at a brilliant club with one of the best managers in the world.
“As soon as I spoke to the Head Coach, I knew I had to come. He told me he wants to help me reach the highest level, and I believe we can do that together, as a team.”
Savinho becomes Tottenham’s seventh major signing of the summer and will look to make an immediate impact, although it remains to be seen if De Zerbi unleashes him vs Charlton or holds him back until the game against Newcastle United on Saturday.
