The coach is desperate to trim his group of players down to keep them motivated - and here is who he should be looking to offload

Savinho's proposed move to Tottenham Hotspur is on the verge of collapsing as Manchester City are all set to block the transfer, despite the Brazilian's interest in joining the north London club. Savinho was not included in the matchday squad for City's season opener against Wolves last weekend but Pep Guardiola later insisted that he wants the player to stay.

Manchester City's Ederson and Savinho have been left out of Pep Guardiola's squad for the Citizens' Premier League opener against Wolves. The two Brazilians have been linked with moves away from the Etihad this summer; however, Guardiola has claimed that the pair have not been left out because of their uncertain futures with the eight-time English champions.

Savinho's efforts to swap Manchester City for Tottenham have escalated after reportedly flying in his agents to seal a potential transfer.

Tottenham have had an opening £42million offer for Manchester City’s Savinho turned down, with the Premier League champions holding out for £67m.
