Tottenham Hotspur have identified Savinho and Cody Gakpo as two signings they still want to make before the September 1 deadline, but talk is increasing that a new striker could still arrive too.
Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham rebuild is coming together nicely so far, with bundles of Premier League experience in north London, and Spurs' transfer record broken twice for Mateus Fernandes and then Sandro Tonali.
As can be the case, it is the attacking additions that are taking the longest to get over the line, with all the club's six additions so far being either goalkeepers, defenders or midfielders.
De Zerbi has confirmed that he is expecting two or three more signings before the transfer window shuts, with Savinho and Gakpo widely reported as two players the Italian wants at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next term.
Progress is slow however, with Manchester City seemingly wanting to land a replacement for Savinho before they have any intention of finalising an agreement with Tottenham, with the two parties having already held talks over a potential transfer 12 months ago.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are looking to add to their frontline following the exit of Mohamed Salah, rather than losing someone like Gakpo, who was a regular starter last term.
Of course, if the Reds complete some incoming business then things could change, but it remains a complicated deal to do.
Tottenham Make £55m Approach to Sign Victor Osimhen
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Tottenham have made an approach worth £55m to sign Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen.
Tottenham have been linked with a number of different strikers in recent days, including Folarin Balogun and Nicolas Jackson, with a transfer likely to be pursued should either Dominic Solanke or Richarlison leave the club in the next few weeks.
It appears more like that the latter would leave than Solanke, who it has often been claimed De Zerbi is a big fan of, with the Brazilian consistently linked with a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
While there has been no official approach or direct contact between Spurs and Galatasaray yet, they are sounding out potential offers for a player that the Turkish giants are said to value at £65m.
Osimhen is a Huge Nicolas Jackson Upgrade
While Jackson would join Tottenham with that Premier League experience that De Zerbi seemingly craves, there is no doubt that Osimhen has proven he is a level above his fellow African striker in recent years.
Since joining Chelsea in 2023, Jackson has scored 41 goals in club football, for the Blues and on loan at Bayern Munich last season.
In the same time-frame, Osimhen has 76, and he has been scoring at a rate of knots for Galatasaray across the two previous campaigns.
It was the Nigerian's spell at Napoli that was most impressive though, as he was one of the key figures in Napoli's historic 2023 Scudetto win, shining alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in attack.
