Tottenham Hotspur will ‘try to accelerate today’ on a double swoop for Manchester City attacking pair Omar Marmoush and Savinho.

Following a highly disappointing last season for Tottenham, the Lilywhites have been highly active in the summer transfer window to back Roberto De Zerbi.

Spurs have bolstered their squad by signing players such as Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andrew Robertson, Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.

After strengthening their defence and midfield, the Lilywhites are now looking to improve their attack and are keen on signing Savinho and Marmoush from Manchester City, while Liverpool‘s Cody Gakpo is also wanted.

Savinho has been of interest to Tottenham for some time, with Spurs also pursuing the winger last season, but no deal materialised.

This summer, Spurs intensified their pursuit of the Brazilian back in June, when it was suggested that the N17 outfit ‘opened initial talks’ for the player.

However, it was recently suggested that Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal could pose a serious threat to Tottenham in signing Savinho, with the Saudi side seeing the 22-year-old as a ‘strong alternative’ to their primary target.

That threat has not gone away and has in fact only grown, but Tottenham are taking action as, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano Spurs will ‘try to accelerate today’ with their efforts to sign Marmoush and Savinho.

It has been suggested that Tottenham plan to sign two wingers and a striker in the remainder of the transfer window.

It has also been suggested that the N17 outfit could chase Chelsea’s Pedro Neto in the event they are not able to sign Savinho.

Neto though is wanted by Al Hilal and is a player Chelsea would rather keep hold of.

Tottenham also have other irons in the fire and may need to switch focus quickly if they cannot land their primary targets.

Monaco striker Folarin Balogun is a player Spurs have been chasing, but they face serious competition from Paris Saint-Germain, who are exploring a late move for the USA star.

Tottenham are now entering a crucial period in the transfer window and De Zerbi will want the attacking tools put at his disposal.

There are also still question marks over the futures of existing Tottenham attackers Richarlison, Mathys Tel and Dominic Solanke.

Roma continue to want to sign Tottenham Hotspur defender Destiny Udogie, but will not wait for too long to snap him up.

Udogie is facing major competition for game time at Spurs, with Andrew Robertson having arrived earlier this summer.

Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi is also a big fan of young Brazilian left-back Souza and has been resisting his departure amid interest and bids from FC Porto.

If Souza stays and with Robertson in the building, the jury is out on how many opportunities Udogie will get and the Italy international is wanted back in Serie A.

Roma are keen on the defender as they look to bring in a new left-back.

However, according to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, ‘Roma will wait but not for too long’.

If the Giallorossi cannot snap Udogie up soon then they are prepared to switch their attention to other targets instead.

Udogie has a contract with Tottenham which still has another four years left to run and it is unclear what terms Tottenham might find acceptable to let him go.

The left-back managed 14 starts in the Premier League for Tottenham over the course of last season as they struggled.

It was suggested earlier this month that Tottenham were not giving any opening for Roma with regards to Udogie.

Roma have already done work on the player’s side, getting in touch with Udogie’s camp about a potential move.

Tottenham have recently done business with Serie A clubs, with Djed Spence sold to Inter Milan and Guglielmo Vicario loaned to Juventus.

Spurs could also be set for a cash influx soon from Troy Parrott.

The AZ Alkmaar striker, who Tottenham hold a 20 per cent sell-on clause in, is getting closer towards a move to La Liga club Real Betis.

There could still be a number of twists and turns in N17 before the transfer window slams shut and Roma will hope that Udogie becomes a deal they can do.

Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Nottingham Forest have all asked about Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz, as the Eagles attach a price tag to the defender ahead of a possible summer departure.

The 30-year-old has been an influential figure at Selhurst Park since arriving in 2024, quickly establishing himself as an important component of the south London outfit’s set-up.

That influence was evident again last season, with Munoz producing nine goal involvements across 46 appearances in all competitions.

The Colombian could now be heading towards the exit, with his contract entering its final two years at Selhurst Park and Palace signing Anan Khalaili.

And, according to Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra, Crystal Palace are prepared to let Munoz depart ‘for a fee around £25m.’

It is suggested that Everton, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham have all asked about Munoz.

With the Eagles prepared to entertain the defender’s departure, the three Premier League clubs could now find themselves competing directly for the Colombian’s signature.

Munoz’s preference among the interested clubs remains unclear, with none of the trio able to offer him the chance to play in Europe this season.

A move to north London could raise questions over the role the Colombian would command under Roberto De Zerbi, with Spurs already having Pedro Porro as an established presence at right-back; De Zerbi though will want real strength in depth, especially if he can steer Tottenham back into Europe.

Strengthening the right-back role has become a genuine priority for the Toffees this summer, with Celtic star Alistair Johnston and West Ham United‘s Aaron Wan-Bissaka among the alternatives they have examined before Munoz emerged as the latest name on their list.

The Merseyside outfit are also pursuing Barcelona star Hector Fort for the right-back role, although that pursuit could prove complicated with competition continuing to intensify.

Nottingham Forest had made Givairo Read their preferred solution earlier in the window and saw multiple bids rejected by Feyenoord, eventually shelving that pursuit and turning their attention towards Munoz.

The Tricky Trees have also opted to keep hold of Nicolo Savona despite previously being prepared to sanction his departure from the City Ground.

Moving to the City Ground would see Munoz link up with former Palace boss Oliver Glasner.
