Tottenham are keen on signing Manchester City’s versatile forward. Tottenham Hotspur have done well to address most of the glaring issues in the squad during the first half of the transfer window. However, it is important to note that they have still not managed to bring in attacking reinforcements during this transfer window despite spending around £235m on new arrivals. Spurs managed to score just 48 goals in the Premier League last season, proving that there is a clear need to bring in attackers before the transfer window slams shut. Dominic Solanke cannot be relied on to stay fit, while Richarlison is into the final year of his contract and could be cashed in. This means the necessity for a prominent goalscorer at White Hart Lane is paramount. Ben Jacobs says Tottenham have not given up on the pursuit of Manchester City forward Manchester City winger Savinho has been Tottenham’s primary attacking target this summer. After more than two months of negotiations, it looks like the Lilywhites are close to agreeing a deal with Manchester City for Savinho. However, the Brazilian isn’t the only Man City player wanted by Spurs. Roberto De Zerbi is a big fan of Omar Marmoush, who found game time hard to come by at the Etihad Stadium last season. After scoring a brace in Man City’s 3-1 friendly win over Atletico Madrid last week, Omar Marmoush admitted that he is enjoying working under new boss Enzo Maresca. It never felt like he was trying to engineer a move away from City, but Tottenham are not giving up on the Egyptian international. According to reliable journalist Ben Jacobs, Tottenham will test City’s resolve for Marmoush. He claims that the 27-year-old will be put on the chopping block if the Sky Blues land their top midfield targets to balance the books. “Tottenham are interested in Omar Marmoush, and if City sign Enzo Fernandez and Ayyoub Bouaddi, they will need to move players on. Spurs would be ready to test City’s resolve,” Ben Jacobs said on the Last Word on Spurs podcast. Are Spurs waiting to pounce on Marmoush? City are fully focused on signing Enzo Fernandez and Ayyoub Bouaddi from Chelsea and Lille, respectively. Rodri is keen to join Barcelona, and Maresca wants both Fernandez and Bouaddi to replace the 2026 Spanish World Cup winner. Should the double deal happen, the Cityzens will need to balance their books by moving on a couple of their fringe players. Marmoush could be one of the fall guys. If Spurs have cash in their reserves, we might get an opportunity to complete a late deal for the Egyptian ace.
