Stop everything, because Tottenham just pulled off one of the biggest deals of the summer β€” and it's only the beginning. 🀯

Spurs have agreed a Β£75m deal with Manchester City to sign Brazilian winger Savinho, with a further Β£10m in potential add-ons, according to BBC Sport. The 22-year-old is now set for a medical before putting pen to paper on a long-term contract in north London.

And yes, we said ONLY the beginning.

The Transfer That Took Over A Year

This move has been more than 12 months in the making. Spurs tried to sign Savinho last summer, but the Brazilian chose to stay at the Etihad Stadium instead.

Big mistake? Maybe. He made just seven Premier League starts under Pep Guardiola last season, and now he's finally getting his chance to shine under Roberto de Zerbi at Tottenham.

The Tea β˜•

  • Spurs are paying Β£75m plus Β£10m in add-ons for the Man City winger
  • Savinho made only 7 Premier League starts for City last season under Guardiola
  • This comes after Spurs already spent Β£185m on midfielders Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali
  • They're already in talks for ANOTHER City player β€” Omar Marmoush

But Wait, There's MORE

Here's where it gets absolutely wild. BBC Sport reports that Tottenham are ALSO in "positive" talks to sign Savinho's City teammate Omar Marmoush.

The Egypt forward β€” who cost City Β£59m from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2025 β€” fell down the pecking order at the Etihad last season. So naturally, Spurs are swooping in to grab him too.

Oh, and they're STILL interested in Liverpool's Cody Gakpo, though sources say it's unclear whether they could finance deals for all three attackers.

Roberto de Zerbi is not messing around. πŸ’ͺ

The Spending Spree Continues

Let's do the math here. Spurs have already dropped Β£185m on midfielders this summer β€” Mateus Fernandes from West Ham and Sandro Tonali from Newcastle. Add Savinho's Β£75m (potentially Β£85m with add-ons), and you're looking at over Β£260m spent already.

And they might not be done! If Marmoush comes through (likely another Β£50m+ deal) and they somehow pull off a move for Gakpo too? This could be one of the most expensive transfer windows in Premier League history.

De Zerbi clearly got the "spend whatever it takes" message loud and clear when he took the Spurs job. After spending a combined Β£185m on central midfielders, the Italian manager knew his attack needed serious reinforcement β€” and he's getting exactly what he asked for.

What This Means For City

Pep Guardiola is basically running a charity shop for top-six rivals at this point. First Savinho, potentially Marmoush next β€” City are having a proper clear-out of players who couldn't break into their star-studded squad.

But here's the thing: these aren't flops. Savinho is a serious talent who just couldn't get consistent game time in one of the best squads in world football. Spurs are betting big that he'll thrive with more opportunities.

And honestly? We can see it.

The Bigger Picture

Tottenham fans have to be absolutely buzzing right now. After years of frustration and "nearly" moments, the club is finally backing a manager with SERIOUS money. De Zerbi has a vision, and Daniel Levy is writing the checks to make it happen.

Whether this translates to silverware remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure: Spurs are going ALL IN this season. The pressure is officially ON.
