Spurs agree £75m deal to sign Man City's Savinho

Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement to sign Brazil winger Bruno Savinho from Manchester City for an initial fee of £75 million, according to club boss Enzo Maresca. The 22-year-old forward has requested to leave City, prompting Tottenham's interest. Savinho will undergo a medical before signing a long-term contract with Spurs, who may need to pay additional fees in the form of add-ons.

The Brazilian's transfer to north London has been in the works for over a year, with Tottenham previously failing to secure his services last summer. Savinho made just seven Premier League appearances last season under Pep Guardiola, and City World Cup winner Rodri has also moved to Barcelona. Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has not commented on the signing, emphasizing that it is premature to discuss players until the transfers are finalized.
