Tottenham Transfer News: Savinho Boost, Folarin Balogun Move, Osimhen Bid Rejected
Tottenham Hotspur have been boosted by the news that Manchester City winger Savinho is reportedly struggling with illness, despite his desire to move to London. The 20-year-old has not trained with the City first team this week, and it is unclear whether he will be able to complete a move to Spurs before the transfer window closes.
What happened?
Tottenham have already completed high-profile moves for Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, and there is time for plenty more deals to be done. Roberto De Zerbi has been armed with several new signings as he looks to propel the club up the Premier League table.
Why it matters for Tottenham Hotspur
The arrival of Tonali and Fernandes has led to a midfield rebuild, with defender Jan Paul van Hecke brought in from Brighton, and Andy Robertson, Martin Dubravka, and Marcos Senesi arriving as free transfers. However, there are also reports that defenders Cristian Romero and Djed Spence are both nearing moves away from the club.
What comes next?
Spurs have been linked with striker Folarin Balogun and Manchester City winger Savinho as De Zerbi looks to revamp his attack. The club has also been linked with a move for Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with a move to Tottenham as well this summer.
The Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal have reportedly turned down a mammoth £111m offer from Al-Hilal for Osimhen, and it is unclear whether the striker will be able to complete a move to Spurs before the transfer window closes.
