Tottenham Hotspur are bracing themselves for a dramatic conclusion to the transfer window as negotiations intensify over their next major acquisition.
The north London club appear on the brink of securing the signature of Manchester City’s Brazilian wide player Savinho, a player they have monitored for an extended period. The 25-year-old could be joined at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by fellow City forward Omar Marmoush as part of what sources describe as an ambitious dual signing strategy.
Following two disappointing campaigns, new head coach Roberto De Zerbi has made a bold statement this summer by sanctioning expenditure exceeding £249million. The Italian has sanctioned moves for Sandro Tonali, Jan Paul van Hecke and Mateus Fernandes, while free transfers have brought Marco Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka through the doors at Hotspur Way.
Further changes to the squad are anticipated, with Luka Vuskovic, Cristian Romero and Djed Spence among those expected to leave, while Guglielmo Vicario has departed for Juventus on a temporary basis.
The club must also turn their attention to Saturday’s league opener away at Brentford.
Reports indicate Tottenham have reached an agreement with Manchester City valued in excess of £75million for Savinho. Sources confirm verbal terms have been settled between the two clubs, with the South American international now arranging a medical examination ahead of completing the move.
The campaign commences on Friday, though transfer developments remain the primary focus following a hectic summer in the market.
