New Delhi, Aug 21 — As the Premier League season kicks off, Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly agreed to sign forward Savinho from Manchester City. This came amidst reports of Spurs being in talks with City for a potential signing of Brazilian winger Savinho and Omar Marmoush.
As per a report in the BBC, Spurs have agreed to a deal of 75 million pounds for Savinho, and there is a window for a further 10 million pounds addition to the deal. Spurs were looking to sign the Brazilian last year too, but he had opted to stay at the Etihad Stadium. However, Savinho had expressed his openness to leaving the club when Spurs showed interest.
The Lilywhites had already boosted their midfield when they roped in Mateus Fernandes from West Ham and Sandro Tonali from Newcastle, but this signing will give a shot in the arm to their forward line. A report in the BBC also stated that Roberto de Zerbi's side is also interested in acquiring Marmoush from City and that the talks are in a positive direction.
While Savinho joined City in 2024 for a sum of £30m from French club Troyes, Egyptian forward Marmoush was purchased from Eintracht Frankfurt for £59 in 2025. Savinho was a regular for City in 2024, having made 48 appearances across competitions, but his time on the pitch was limited to 36 matches in 2025. Meanwhile, Marmoush went out of Pep Guardiola's scheme of things in his last season in 2025-26, and he managed to score just eight goals in 36 appearances.
Spurs are also reportedly interested in roping in Netherlands and Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, although it remains to be seen whether they have the money to get him.
Talking about City, the Enzo Maresca-led side has already sold some of their regulars, including Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders and goalkeeper James Trafford. City have roped in midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for a reported 116 million pounds, while they have also brought in Argentine goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli from Marseille. They are also interested in signing Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea and are also exploring central midfielder Manu Kone from Roma. They have also kept Ayyoub Bouaddi on the checklist.
