LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur has signed Brazilian winger Savinho from Manchester City for an initial fee of £75 million, pushing their total spending in the transfer market over £300 million in the current window. The 22-year-old Portuguese-born player struggled to cement his place in City's first team during his two seasons there.
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed his excitement about bringing Savinho to the North London club, praising his energy, creativity and ability to change games. Savinho joins a squad that has already seen significant investment with the signings of Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka on free transfers.
The Italian manager believes Savinho can help the team avoid relegation for the first time in 49 years. City may face financial consequences from the transfer, potentially paying an additional £10 million in add-ons. Additionally, Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush is expected to leave Man City for Tottenham before the end of the transfer window.
