Tottenham Closing In on Omar Marmoush and Savinho Deals

Tottenham Hotspur is gearing up for a crucial week in the summer transfer window as they aim to bolster their squad significantly. With a spending spree already surpassing £237 million, Spurs are looking to add more firepower by closing in on Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush and Brazilian forward Savinho.

Marmoush is reportedly enthusiastic about the move to north London, with negotiations ongoing, while Spurs have agreed on an £85 million deal for Savinho that includes an initial £75 million along with potential add-ons. This double signing could push Tottenham's total summer spending past the £300 million mark, showcasing their ambition under manager Roberto De Zerbi.

De Zerbi’s squad overhaul is evident, especially after a disappointing opening match against Brentford, where Spurs fell to a 3-0 defeat. The urgency to improve is palpable as the team prepares for upcoming matches, including a cup clash against Charlton Athletic and a Premier League fixture against Newcastle.

In addition to Marmoush and Savinho, Tottenham is pursuing Dutch international Cody Gakpo. Liverpool has set a price of at least £60 million for Gakpo, who is reportedly eager for a positive resolution to his potential transfer. Spurs are said to be preparing another bid, and an agreement in principle on a contract has already been reached, pending Liverpool securing a replacement.

Tottenham is not just looking to strengthen; they are also considering player departures. Mikey Moore is nearing a loan move to Koln, pending De Zerbi’s final approval. Meanwhile, Richarlison's future is uncertain, with Everton expressing interest in re-signing him. Spurs are reportedly demanding at least £26 million for the Brazilian, who has been a key player since his £60 million transfer from Everton four years ago.

Lastly, Pape Matar Sarr is attracting attention from Galatasaray, but negotiations are ongoing, with Spurs valuing him at £21 million. Sarr's game time may diminish this season due to the arrival of new talents, making a move more likely as the window approaches its deadline.

With the clock ticking down on the transfer window, Tottenham's next few days could be pivotal in shaping the squad for the remainder of the season. The pressure is on De Zerbi to finalize these deals and ensure the team is competitive in the Premier League.
