Tottenham are advancing on a deal to sign a player that former striker Mido recommended over two years ago.
It's been an incredibly busy summer transfer window for Tottenham, strengthening in multiple areas of the pitch.
Spurs have improved their goalkeeping department, assigning Martin Dubravka as a backup, while also bringing in a number of defenders and midfielders.
What Spurs are yet to do is strengthen in the final third, but they are working on some new additions to reinforce their attack.
With the midfield, defence and goalkeeper situations now solved, attention has quickly turned to bringing in reinforcements in the final third.
According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, Tottenham are now advancing in talks to sign Manchester City striker Omar Marmoush alongside Savinho.
Marmoush has struggled to cement himself as a regular starter at City, which is no surprise when competing with Erling Haaland.
A move to Tottenham could be exactly what he needs to kick-start his career in the Premier League, and Spurs are now pushing to make it happen.
Former Tottenham striker Mido posted on X back in April 2024, suggesting that he previously advised Tottenham to sign Mohamed Salah while he was still at Basel.
Mido also suggests in the same post that he has another suggestion for Tottenham.
Over two years ago, the former Egyptian international urged Daniel Levy to sign Marmoush while he was at Eintracht Frankfurt.
It looks as though Tottenham are finally getting the man Mido wanted, despite Marmoush being set to play under a different manager and ownership than the one in charge two years ago.
Savinho could complete exciting double deal
Although Tottenham shouldn't be signing players based on the recommendations of some of their former stars, Mido was certainly correct in his praise for Marmoush.
The Egyptian forward went on to join Manchester City shortly after Mido hyped the attacker, and it could be an exciting addition for Spurs.
Bringing in both Marmoush and Savinho would significantly improve Tottenham's attacking options, giving Roberto De Zerbi plenty to work with.
Although the focus has been on how significantly Tottenham have spent in the middle of the park, we could see a huge double deal in the forward line over the coming weeks.
