Tottenham Targets Omar Marmoush and Savinho from Manchester City

Tottenham Hotspur is making headlines with ambitious plans to overhaul their attack, targeting two players from Manchester City: Omar Marmoush and Savinho. As Spurs look to strengthen their forward line, the stakes are high for manager Roberto De Zerbi, who is eager to enhance his squad following a season that saw them narrowly avoid relegation.

Marmoush, who joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt for £59 million in January 2025, has netted 16 goals in 62 appearances but found himself starting only eight Premier League matches last season. His role as a backup to Erling Haaland has limited his game time, making him a prime candidate for a move away from the Etihad.

Savinho, a Brazilian winger, has also been on Spurs' radar for some time. Last summer, they contemplated a £50 million bid for the player, who had joined City from Troyes in 2024. With just seven starts in his time at City, Savinho, who has scored seven goals in 84 games, is seeking more regular first-team action, which Tottenham could provide.

The potential signings of Marmoush and Savinho would not come cheap, reinforcing the notion that Tottenham is willing to invest significantly in their squad. City has already raked in around £160 million from player sales this summer, but losing two players like Marmoush and Savinho could further boost their transfer funds as they look to reinvest in their squad.

In the backdrop of these potential transfers, Tottenham has already made notable moves in the transfer market themselves. They have broken their transfer record twice this summer, signing Mateus Fernandes for £85 million and Sandro Tonali for a fee that could rise to £100 million. Additionally, they secured centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton for £52 million and acquired defenders Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson on free transfers.

This aggressive recruitment strategy comes as Spurs aim to solidify their standing in the Premier League after a tumultuous prior season. By offloading defenders for approximately £72 million, including Cristian Romero to Atletico Madrid and Djed Spence to Inter Milan, they are not only balancing their books but also clearing the way for a more dynamic attacking setup.

As the transfer saga unfolds, Tottenham fans will be watching closely to see if these moves materialize, as the club looks to reclaim its status among the Premier League elite.
