Tottenham target Savinho absent from Manchester City squad
Tottenham Hotspur have agreed an £85m fee with Manchester City to sign winger Savinho, but he was absent from the squad to face Bournemouth. This comes as a surprise, given that Savinho was expected to join Tottenham in a deal that could reach £85m.
What happened?
Omar Marmoush, another player linked with Tottenham, was included in Manchester City's squad to face Bournemouth. This has sparked speculation that Marmoush could follow Savinho to Tottenham in a separate deal.
Why it matters for Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham's summer spending has already exceeded £300m, and the arrival of Savinho would take it above £300m. However, Roberto De Zerbi has admitted that Tottenham are still not prepared for the start of the new Premier League season.
What comes next?
The transfer saga continues as Tottenham look to sign Savinho and Marmoush. With the new season just around the corner, Tottenham need to finalize their squad and get ready for the challenges ahead.
