  • Tottenham Hotspur has agreed to a £75 million deal to sign Brazilian winger Savinho from Manchester City.
  • The 22-year-old will undergo a medical before signing a long-term contract with Spurs, who have been interested in him for over a year.
  • This transfer, along with other significant investments, brings Tottenham's summer spending to over £300 million, partially offset by player sales.

Tottenham Hotspur is set to significantly bolster its attacking options with the agreement to sign Brazilian winger Savinho from Manchester City for an initial fee of £75 million. The deal includes an additional £10 million in potential add-ons, reflecting the player's perceived value and potential impact.

Savinho, 22, is expected to undergo a medical examination in the coming days before finalizing his move to North London. He is anticipated to sign a long-term contract with the club, signaling Tottenham's commitment to securing his services for the foreseeable future. This transfer marks the culmination of over a year of persistent interest from Spurs, who were unsuccessful in their attempt to sign the winger last summer.

Despite choosing to remain at Manchester City last season, Savinho's opportunities were limited, with only seven Premier League starts to his name. His arrival at Tottenham is seen as a move to provide him with a more prominent role and further develop his promising career.

The acquisition of Savinho continues Tottenham's aggressive spending spree this summer. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi has already overseen substantial investments, including midfielder Mateus Fernandes from West Ham and Sandro Tonali from Newcastle, totaling £185 million. With Savinho's transfer, the club's total spending surpasses £300 million. However, Tottenham has also been active in recouping funds through player sales, generating approximately £140 million from the departures of Cristian Romero, Djed Spence, and Luka Vuskovic.
