Tottenham plan double Man City raid in expensive attacking revamp

Spurs want to sign both Omar Marmoush as well as Savinho as Roberto De Zerbi looks to strengthen his forward line

Tottenham plan double Man City raid in expensive attacking revamp

Tottenham Hotspur are on the hunt for two players from Manchester City, with the club interested in both Omar Marmoush and Vinícius Júnior Savinho. Marmoush, who joined City in January 2025 from Eintracht Frankfurt for a staggering £59 million, has scored 16 goals in 62 appearances for the Premier League side. However, he has only started eight Premier League matches last season, while Savinho, a 2024 transfer from City’s sister club Troyes, has played seven games.

The 22-year-old Brazilian winger has netted seven goals in 84 appearances for City, but faced the bench after the January signing of Antoine Semenyo. Marmoush, meanwhile, served as a substitute for the final 37 minutes of Sunday's Community Shield loss to Arsenal. City have spent £160 million this summer, and signing Marmoush and Savinho could push that total higher.

The club is also in talks with Newcastle United for Nico Gonzalez. Tottenham, meanwhile, has broken their transfer record twice this summer, signing midfielders Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali for £85 million and £100 million respectively. They have also brought in Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton for £52 million and defenders Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson on free transfers.
