Senior football correspondent Published 1 hour ago Tottenham are in talks with Manchester City over a double deal for forwards Savinho and Omar Marmoush.
Sources have told BBC Sport that negotiations between the clubs are progressing, although an agreement has yet to be reached.
Spurs' interest in Brazilian winger Savinho dates back to 2025, when the 22-year-old opted to remain at Etihad Stadium.
But he was limited to just seven starts in the Premier League last season, and is now minded to leave the club after joining for a £30m fee in 2024 from French club Troyes.
Marmoush, a £59m signing from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2025, fell out of favour under Pep Guardiola in 2025-26 and the 27-year-old managed eight goals in 36 appearances in all competitions.
City's valuation for the pair is unclear, but the club would expect to make a significant profit on both.
Tottenham head coach Roberto de Zerbi has revamped his midfield this summer, signing Mateus Fernandes from West Ham and Sandro Tonali from Newcastle for a combined £185m.
But the Italian has stressed the need to strengthen his attack following the side's 17th-placed finish in the Premier League last term, scoring just 48 goals in 38 games.
Spurs remain interested in Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, but it is unclear whether the club could finance a deal for the Netherlands international as well as moves for Marmoush and Savinho.
City have already sold a host of players this summer, including Rodri, midfielder Tijjani Reijnders and second-choice goalkeeper James Trafford.
Spurs kick off their Premier League campaign away at Brentford on Saturday (17:30 BST), while City host Bournemouth on Sunday (14:00 BST).
