Tottenham Hotspur has successfully secured the signing of Brazilian midfielder Savinho from Manchester City for an initial fee of £75 million. The club is prepared to pay an additional £10 million in add-ons if specific conditions are met. Savinho, 22, expressed his excitement about joining Spurs, praising the club and manager Roberto De Zerbi.
The Brazilian international will remain at Etihad Stadium for the time being, but his playing time was limited under former City manager Pep Guardiola. This signing brings Tottenham's summer transfer spending to over £300 million.
De Zerbi's Tottenham looks to bolster their attacking options further, with Manchester City's Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush set to join the club on a season-long loan with an option to buy for £50 million next summer. Marmoush, 27, had a decent season last term, netting three goals in 21 Premier League appearances, but was deemed surplus to requirements by new City head coach Enzo Maresca.
Tottenham manager De Zerbi is keen to add more attacking firepower after the underwhelming performance in the season opener against Brentford. The club's Belgian winger Cody Gakpo from Liverpool and Portuguese winger Pedro Neto from Chelsea are just two potential targets for the Spurs manager to strengthen his squad.
