Paul O’Keefe reveals pursuits of Oscar Bobb and Savinho

Paul O’Keefe, a reliable Spurs insider, has issued an update on the club’s pursuits of Manchester City duo Oscar Bobb and Savinho.

Bobb and Savinho have both been fringe players for the Cityzens this season under Pep Guardiola.

The former has made just five Premier League starts, while the latter has been named in the starting eleven on five occasions as well.

However, neither of them have managed to find the back of the net in the English top flight and will consider leaving the Etihad Stadium, either temporarily or permanently, in the January transfer window.

O’Keefe claims that Bobb was looked at by the Lilywhites, but his injury record is what put them off.

With regard to Savinho, he is someone who’s been on their radar for a while, but they have not made a move for him this month.

He told Last Word on Spurs: “They did look at that Oscar Bobb early in the window. I think injuries put them off.

“And they looked obviously Savinho has been one that they’ve been sort of eyeing for a long time.”

What is the situation surrounding Tottenham targets Savinho and Oscar Bobb?

While Savinho has been a Spurs target, a move in January does not look to be on the cards for him.

That is because he is currently ruled out with an injury and will be unavailable for a few weeks.

With regard to Bobb, he appears set to move to London, but to another club.

According to the BBC, Fulham are close to reaching an agreement to sign the 22-year-old.

With Antoine Semenyo joining City, the Norway international has fallen down the pecking order and wants to leave.

Guardiola himself admitted that he thinks the attacker wants out this month.
