Tottenham Hotspur are working on another major signing, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi, who describes himself as 'like a shark' in the transfer market. The club has already broken their transfer record twice this summer, first with the £85m signing of Mateus Fernandes from West Ham and then the £100m deal for Sandro Tonali from Newcastle. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 17th in Premier League, 41 pts, 10W-11D-17L from 38 games, recent form WLDWW.
What did De Zerbi say?
De Zerbi confirmed Tottenham are not done in the transfer market, stating they've completed '60 per cent of our project' and have 'another bomba' coming. While he didn't confirm details, reports suggest Manchester City's Savinho is a target. The 22-year-old Brazilian winger could join in the coming weeks, though De Zerbi hinted at a separate major attacking signing.
Why is this important for Spurs?
The signings address a forward line weakened by injuries to Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert and Dejan Kulusevski. Tottenham scored 48 goals last season (57 conceded) and finished 44 points behind leaders Arsenal. De Zerbi's aggressive approach aims to strengthen the squad after a difficult 2025 campaign.
Who else has joined?
Free agents Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson were signed before De Zerbi arrived, along with Jan Paul van Hecke. The full-back options now include Destiny Udogie, Souza, Ben Davies, Djed Spence and Pedro Porro, whom De Zerbi calls the 'best right back in the world'.
What's next?
With several expected departures, including Cristian Romero and Guglielmo Vicario, Tottenham's squad reshuffle continues. De Zerbi's 'shark' mentality suggests more deals could follow before the window closes.
