Man City duo targeted by Tottenham ahead of new Premier League season

  • Tottenham Hotspur are targeting Manchester City duo Omar Marmoush and Savinho as head coach Roberto De Zerbi seeks to bolster his attacking line following a major squad overhaul.
  • Marmoush, who signed for City for £59m in January 2025, and Savinho have both struggled for regular Premier League starts, with Savinho falling further down the pecking order following Antoine Semenyo's arrival.
  • Manchester City have already recouped around £160m through player sales this summer and are eyeing further midfield rebuilds with potential deals for Lille's Ayyoub Bouaddi and Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez.
  • Tottenham have spent heavily in the current transfer window, breaking their club transfer record twice to secure midfielders Mateus Fernandes for £85m and Sandro Tonali for a fee rising to £100m.
  • Spurs have offset some of their summer spending by raising £72m from key defensive sales, including Cristian Romero to Atletico Madrid, Djed Spence to Inter Milan, and Ashley Phillips to Middlesbrough.
