Tottenham Hotspur are pushing forward with efforts to strengthen their attacking department ahead of the new Premier League campaign, with the north London club reportedly in advanced discussions with Manchester City over a potential double signing involving Omar Marmoush and Savinho.
According to information relayed by Standard Sport, no agreement has been formally reached between the two clubs, but talks are said to be progressing at pace as Spurs look to reshape their forward line before the transfer window closes.
Marmoush, an Egyptian international, arrived at City with plenty of promise but found opportunities hard to come by during his time under Pep Guardiola. He featured in just 21 Premier League matches last season, managing three goals in that stretch — a return that has fueled speculation over his long-term future at the Etihad Stadium. Given his limited game time, a switch to Tottenham could offer him the fresh start and consistent minutes he has been seeking.
Savinho, meanwhile, represents another attractive option for Spurs as they aim to add depth and creativity to their wide areas. While specific details of his City career were not outlined, his inclusion in the same negotiations suggests City are open to letting both attackers leave as part of a broader squad overhaul.
Should the move materialize, it would mark a significant statement of intent from Tottenham, who appear determined to bolster their attacking ranks significantly this summer. The north London club have been active in the market as they look to build a squad capable of competing on multiple fronts next season.
Interestingly, the double deal with City is not the only attacking reinforcement Tottenham are said to be exploring. The club are also believed to retain an interest in Liverpool's Cody Gakpo, though that particular pursuit appears considerably more complicated. The Dutch winger still has four years remaining on his current contract at Anfield, and Liverpool have made clear that no formal talks have taken place between the two clubs regarding a potential departure.
That combination of factors — a lengthy contract and the Merseyside club's firm stance — means a move for Gakpo is viewed as a much tougher proposition compared to the ongoing discussions with Manchester City. For now, Tottenham's more realistic route to reinforcing their forward options appears to run through the Etihad rather than Anfield.
The potential arrival of both Marmoush and Savinho would give new impetus to a Tottenham attack that has been searching for added firepower and flexibility. Both players offer different qualities — Marmoush's directness and eye for goal, paired with Savinho's flair and dribbling ability — that could provide head coach with fresh attacking options across multiple positions.
As it stands, supporters will have to wait to see whether the reported interest translates into concrete transfers, but the growing momentum behind the Marmoush and Savinho discussions suggests Tottenham are edging closer to completing a notable double swoop from Manchester City before the market closes.
