Tottenham close on Omar Marmoush as Manchester City line up Allan
Tottenham Hotspur are set to complete the signing of forward Omar Marmoush from Manchester City as part of a double transfer worth up to £160m.
The north London club have already agreed a deal for Brazilian winger Savinho.
They are now finalising terms to bring his club team-mate to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs seek attacking reinforcements
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi is eager to bolster his forward line following a disastrous start to the 2026-27 Premier League campaign.
The Lilywhites suffered a dismal 3-0 defeat against Brentford on the opening weekend.
The Italian manager admitted his squad were physically second best in almost every department.
We lost too many duels, we made too many mistakes in the timing when we wanted to push the pressure higher.
Roberto De Zerbi
We arrived second for the second ball, we didn’t win one second ball, one duel, one tackle, and it’s tough.

Manchester City line up replacement
Meanwhile, the reigning champions have moved swiftly to replace the departing Egyptian international.
The Citizens are in advanced negotiations with Brazilian side Palmeiras over 22-year-old frontman Allan.
The Premier League title holders are prepared to offer a package of around €40m (£34m) plus add-ons to secure the young attacker.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano expects both respective moves to be officially completed early next week.
De Zerbi will hope to have his new recruits available when Spurs face Newcastle United in their next fixture.
