Tottenham Hotspur has successfully completed the signing of Brazil international defender Savinho from Manchester City in a £75 million deal. The club is also reportedly close to completing a loan move for Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush, with a possible £50 million buy option. If these two signings are confirmed, Spurs' summer spending would surpass the £300 million mark.
Savinho, 22, expressed his excitement about joining the club, praising Roberto De Zerbi's ambition and the opportunity to grow at a top-tier football club. He had previously struggled for playing time under Pep Guardiola at City.
Marmoush, 27, has been on City's books since January 2025 but has found limited game time under Enzo Maresca. He was part of the Egypt national team that reached the World Cup's last 16 this summer.
The club's aggressive transfer spree has seen them bring in Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United for £100 million, Mateus Fernandes from West Ham for £85 million, Jean Paul van Hecke from Brighton for £52 million, and Andy Robertson from Liverpool for free. With a string of new signings in various attacking positions, Tottenham could be set to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season, as they look to improve upon their disappointing opening-day 3-0 defeat to Brentford.
