  "account": "Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi aims to strengthen his squad with one more significant signing ahead of the transfer window's closure. The Italian manager had initiated a major overhaul of the team following their narrow escape from relegation last season. De Zerbi's recent acquisitions include Brazil winger Savio for a staggering £85 million (US$115 million) and Egypt forward Omar Marmoush on loan. The total spending in this transfer window has reached close to £300 million.\n\nDe Zerbi expressed his belief in the high caliber of both Savio and Marmoush, stating that they are \"bomba.\" He anticipates that the duo will bolster the team's attack, particularly as James Maddison recuperates from an injury and Mohammed Kudus resumes his play after a lengthy layoff. Marmoush, who scored 37 goals during his time at Eintracht Frankfurt, is set to join Tottenham as the club's eighth signing since the previous season. The manager has confidence that Marmoush will provide valuable competition and options in attack, especially considering his unique playing style as a central striker.",
  "summary": "Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi's spending has approached £300 million in the current window and he has his sights set on a final purchase prior to Tuesday's deadline.",
