Overview
- Reports on Wednesday say Tottenham have progressed into advanced talks with Manchester City over a double deal for Savinho and Omar Marmoush, though no contracts are finalised.
- ENIC’s stated short‑term aim is to add three forwards — Savinho, Cody Gakpo and a new centre‑forward — to complete a summer overhaul focused on boosting goalscoring.
- Manchester City are said to be reluctant to sell either player until they secure replacements, giving City leverage in price and timing of any departures.
- Tottenham have already spent roughly £230–£237m this window on midfield and defence and face fresh budget and registration pressure if the Savinho/Marmoush moves proceed.
- Spurs also confront immediate selection risk with doubts over James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke ahead of the Brentford opener, heightening the urgency for attacking signings.
