Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a surprise move to sign Manchester City star Savinho this summer, GIVEMESPORT sources understand.

Thoms Frank has arrived in north London and so far has been able to add Mohammed Kudus, Kota Takai and Joao Palhinha to his squad, while a move to add Morgan Gibbs-White collapsed following legal trouble before Nottingham Forest convinced him to sign a new contract.

Spurs are set to lose captain Heung-Min Son to LAFC in a MLS record transfer and after James Maddison suffered what looked like a serious knee injury during pre-season, they are keen to add fresh attacking talent before the deadline.

Tottenham Eyeing Move for Savinho

No talks held yet

Savinho, who has been described as "incredible" by Pep Guardiola, enjoyed a fine maiden campaign in the Premier League for Man City in 2024/25 as he topped their assists chart following a £30.8m move from Girona.

Those performances have attracted the interest of club chiefs at Tottenham, who have made the Brazil international a target as they eye fresh legs in their attack, having already made contact for another City forward in Jack Grealish this week.

The 21-year-old impressed with three goals and 11 assists in all competitions, and with City adding Rayan Cherki to the squad this summer, he may have fallen down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium.

While there is interest in a deal there have been no club-to-club talks or approaches to the player yet, but GMS sources understand that he has been flagged internally as a player of interest.

Any deal is expected to be difficult to do though, with Man City not actively looking to sell and Guardiola viewing him as a key part of an evolving squad, who are looking to bounce back following their first trophyless season since 2017.

Spurs are big fans of the player due to his unpredictability in the final third and his creativity, and this is a profile of player that the club are looking to add to their squad for Frank. It remains to be seen if a deal can be done for Savinho, but there is interest in north London and that makes this one to watch in the coming weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur have made a surprise call to sign Manchester City star Jack Grealish, according to Fabrizio Romano - with Daniel Levy putting the feelers out to gauge how much a deal would cost to sign the £300,000-a-week star on a loan deal this summer.

Spurs have already landed West Ham United wide man Mohammed Kudus this window, with Danish boss Thomas Frank looking for more goals in a Tottenham side that currently boasts the likes of young stars Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert on the left-flank, whilst Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson hold the fort on the right. However, James Maddison's long-term knee injury means Kulusevski could play more centrally, prompting Kudus to fill in for him - and so there is a void in their creative ranks.

Romano: Tottenham 'Have Made Phone Call' to Sign Jack Grealish

The Italian journalist says the club have fielded out the numbers it would take to land the England star

Grealish has struggled for minutes at the Etihad Stadium over the past two seasons, only making a combined 40 Premier League appearances in the past two years, and he could be on the move.

And, as a result, the report by Romano on his YouTube channel states that although Everton are more advanced in negotiations to land the former Aston Villa winger, Tottenham have also fielded a call in recent days as Thomas Frank looks to bolster his creative ranks ahead of their Premier League and Champions League fixtures. Romano said:

"Everton are working on a deal to sign Jack Grealish. There was a call also from Tottenham in recent days to understand the situation of the player, but it was just a call - no advanced negotiations.

"From what I'm told now, Everton approached Manchester City after speaking to the agent of the player last week. Now, Everton are in talks with Manchester City for Jack Grealish - they want to try for a loan. Let's see the conditions of this loan, let's see what Jack will decide to do - but Jack Grealish is the dream target now for Everton."

Grealish would add a huge level of experience to their ranks, and creativity. A move for Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White collapsed despite Tottenham activating his release clause, and so Frank clearly wants someone in that area.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Jack Grealish has four goals in 39 caps for England.

The England star may have fallen off the beaten path in recent months, but a move to north London could do him wonders if they can hijack Everton, who are seemingly at the front of the queue.

Tottenham are showing interest in a summer move for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, journalist Fraser Fletcher has claimed.

The Europa League winners are looking to replace departing captain Son Heung-min with a new star signing and have identified Lookman as an alternative on their shortlist.

Spurs are also admirers of Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, but Lookman is viewed as their ‘plan B’, with his versatility and Premier League experience appealing to the North London club.

Lookman has submitted a transfer request at Atalanta and is expected to leave before the transfer deadline, with the Serie A club reportedly seeking around €50m (£44m) for his departure.

Lookman ‘Strong Contender’ to Replace Son

Tottenham considering the 27-year-old winger

According to Fletcher, Lookman is seen as a ‘strong contender’ to replace Son this summer, though Tottenham face competition from Inter Milan for his signature.

The Serie A winners are said to be keen on signing the Nigeria international and have already had an initial bid rejected by Atalanta.

Lookman, who joined the Bergamo club from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2022, has demonstrated exceptional goalscoring prowess during his time in Italy, netting 39 goals and providing 21 assists in 93 appearances.

The ‘world-class’ 27-year-old is under contract for another two seasons, until June 2027.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Lookman scored 20 goals and provided seven assists in 40 appearances for Atalanta last season.

Tottenham are eyeing several late reinforcements to Thomas Frank’s squad amid Son’s exit to Los Angeles FC and James Maddison’s serious injury on Monday.

The England international was stretchered off during Spurs’ 1-1 friendly draw with Newcastle, and the club are now searching for a replacement, with a £300,000-a-week star reportedly on their radar.

Aston Villa insist that Morgan Rogers is off the market, amid interest from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.

Rogers has enjoyed a sensational spell at Villa Park since his move from Championship side Middlesbrough, and he's naturally starting to attract interest from clubs such as Chelsea and Tottenham. Understandably, Villa won't want to lose a player of Rogers' calibre, and if they are under no pressure to sell, they're entitled to demand a significant fee for the English star.

The 22-year-old has been described as 'frightening' by Sky Sports journalist Dan Bardell, and he's quickly become one of the most exciting prospects in the Premier League. It's certainly no surprise that clubs are beginning to take a look, but it's going to be a difficult task to prise him away from the Villans this summer.

Aston Villa Insist Morgan Rogers is Off The Market

Villa could demand £100m amid Tottenham and Chelsea interest

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Aston Villa continue to insist that Rogers is completely off the market in this summer transfer window. Chelsea have been very interested in the English versatile star, while Tottenham also have admiration. Spurs see him a great option after missing out on Morgan Gibbs-White, who signed a new deal at Nottingham Forest.

Villa are in no mood to enter negotiations for Rogers, especially as he is such an important figure for Unai Emery's plans after an impressive 2024/2025 season. As it stands, any interested party, such as Tottenham or Chelsea, will likely be quoted in the region of £100m as Villa attempt to deter anyone that wants to try and make a move for him this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to advance on talks to add to their attacking department this summer, with AC Milan star Rafael Leao and Real Madrid forward Rodrygo among their targets, GIVEMESPORT sources understand.

The north London club have had a summer of change so far with Thomas Frank appointed to replace Ange Postecoglou as manager, while the Dane has brought in Kota Takai, Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha to strengthen the squad.

But Spurs must now deal with the fact that captain Heung-Min Son has revealed he will leave the club this summer, with GMS sources revealing that a move to LAFC is close to being finalised, and now they are looking to replace him.

Tottenham Keen on Rafael Leao

Deal likely to be too expensive currently

The club have already made Mathys Tel's loan move from Bayern Munich permanent this summer, but after James Maddison suffered what seems like a serious knee injury in their pre-season clash with Newcastle, new attacking reinforcements are desired.

One player who has been linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is Milan star Leao, and GMS sources understand that there is a genuine interest in the Portugal international, which has been registered with the Serie A club.

The 26-year-old is still valued highly at Milan ahead of next season, but he set tongues wagging after liking an Instagram post which confirmed his national team teammate Palhinha's move to the club. However, sources understand that a deal is currently seen as being too expensive and is being played down.

Another player the club have been linked to is Brazil international Rodrygo, who could be cheaper than Leao, but it remains to be seen if they firm up their interest in him.

Spurs have spread the net wide to come up with solutions in the latter part of the window, and GMS sources understand that they want to progress this week in their search for new attacking talent.

Tottenham Also Eyeing Grealish

£300,000-a-week wages could complicate deal

Another player who has been identified as a potential late target is Manchester City forward Jack Grealish, who has been made available for a loan or permanent move away from the Etihad Stadium after falling down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola.

However, the England star's £300,000-a-week wages could complicate any deal and that is why there has been limited movement on a deal to take him anywhere so far.

Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho is someone else the club have checked on in their bid to bolster the attack, but they haven't made any formal contact yet at this point.

Tottenham are exploring a potential summer move for Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish, journalist Ben Knapton has claimed.

The Europa League winners have reportedly submitted an immediate enquiry for the former Aston Villa forward following James Maddison’s injury blow.

Spurs lost the 28-year-old midfielder to a severe-looking injury in Saturday’s 1-1 friendly draw with Newcastle United and are believed to be in the market for a replacement.

While an official diagnosis on Maddison’s injury is yet to be confirmed, Tottenham are already without Dejan Kulusevski due to a knee problem and have reportedly identified Grealish as a potential solution to their injury woes.

Tottenham Eyeing Jack Grealish Deal

After James Maddison’s injury blow

According to Knapton, Tottenham have made immediate contact over a move for Grealish after Maddison’s injury and are believed to have leapfrogged Napoli in the race for the 29-year-old.

The Serie A champions were previously seen as the top contenders to sign Grealish before the transfer deadline, but are claimed to no longer be frontrunners, with interest from the North London club now emerging.

Grealish is expected to leave Man City either permanently or on loan this summer, having struggled to impress under Pep Guardiola last season.

The £300,000-a-week forward scored just three goals and registered five assists in 32 appearances for Man City, making only seven Premier League starts.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Grealish scored once in 20 Premier League games last term.

Tottenham have splashed out around £120m on new signings this summer, with Bayern Munich ace Joao Palhinha the latest arrival.

The Portuguese international joined on a season-long loan, with an option to make the deal permanent for £27m next summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are thought to be keeping 'very close tabs' on Paris Saint-Germain star Randal Kolo Muani, according to reports - with Thomas Frank keen on bolstering his front line amid news of an imminent departure to Los Angeles FC for club legend Son Heung-min.

Spurs landed Dominic Solanke last summer from Bournemouth as the eventual replacement for Harry Kane, with Spurs having failed to sign anyone to come into their ranks upon his Bayern Munich. But whilst Solanke didn't flop, they have now looked to Kolo Muani. He cost PSG an incredible £77million from Eintracht Frankfurt, moving in the summer of 2023 - though he has only scored 11 goals in 54 outings for the Parisian side in that time.

Report: Tottenham 'Keeping Tabs' on Kolo Muani, at the 'Front of the Queue'

The north London club are keen to continue signing players

The report by TBR Football claims that Tottenham are keeping 'very close tabs' on a move for Kolo Muani, given the expected departure of Son - having failed to land the France international in the January transfer window before his loan move to Serie A giants, Juventus.

The PSG star could still find his way back to the Old Lady, with Igor Tudor wanting to make a deal permanent for his services in the coming weeks of the transfer window, but talks with the Ligue 1 champions have not progressed well up until this stage, despite the 'explosive' attacker giving them his priority as he aims to leave the Parc des Princes.

With that in mind, Tottenham are waiting in the background as they eye a potential deal for the 26-year-old striker if he doesn't end up moving back to the Allianz Stadium on a permanent deal.

The Lilywhites are seen as being at the 'front of the queue' to sign Kolo Muani in case his move fails, but they don't wish to ruin their strong relationship with Juventus, which has seen the likes of Fabio Paratici, Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur swap Turin for north London in recent seasons.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Randal Kolo Muani has nine goals in 31 caps for the France national team.

Kolo Muani scored 10 goals in 22 appearances for Juventus last season, after Tottenham offered him a starring role in north London to become Son's long-term replacement in January - but the rejection saw them turn to Mathys Tel instead.

Tottenham Hotspur could look to complete a major signing in midfield, after missing out on the capture of Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest in July - with Atletico Madrid star Conor Gallagher being touted for a move to north London.

Spurs looked set to bring in Gibbs-White after his £60million release clause was activated, though Forest felt their approach was 'illegal', and subsequently, he signed a new deal in the east Midlands, bringing Spurs back to the drawing board. And that could see them move for Gallagher, who featured in 51 games for them last season, albeit in a rotation role with just 19 starts in the league.

Report: Tottenham 'Willing to Make' Gallagher Bid, Atletico Would Consider

The Lilywhites are still keen on adding to their midfield

The report by Spanish outlet Fichajes states that Gallagher could be living out his final months at the Metropolitano Stadium, with the England international set to lose his prominence in Diego Simeone's squad after new signings arrived at the club.

It's been a busy summer in the red and white half of the Spanish capital, with no fewer than nine first-team arrivals, although the same amount of departures have occurred, leaving their squad at the level it was before. However, a key observation is that three first-team midfielders have arrived in Villarreal star Alex Baena, Johnny Cardoso and Thiago Almada - leaving Gallagher potentially in the lurch. That has interested Tottenham, and now Atletico are 'seriously considering' a departure for the star they signed from Chelsea last summer.

His reputation hasn't decreased in the Premier League, where Gallagher is highly valued for his tenacity and goalscoring knack - with Tottenham keen to add that to their squad, reportedly preparing a £43million bid as a result. The financial package is convincing for the La Liga outfit, and they would welcome a sale if it goes ahead at that price.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Conor Gallagher has 21 caps for England, scoring his only goal against Ireland back in November.

Gallagher is thought to 'not mind' a return to England, where he's already made strong impressions in his time at Chelsea and on loan at Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League - and for a side that has Champions League football and suits his playing style, a deal could be in the offing for the star, who was labelled as a 'maverick'.

Tottenham are exploring a potential summer move for Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado, Spanish publication SPORT has claimed.

The Lilywhites have reportedly made an initial approach regarding the 21-year-old Spanish international but are facing a difficult round of negotiations to try and bring Casado to North London.

The 'elite' holding midfielder is said to have no intention of leaving the Nou Camp this summer, and Barcelona would only open the door if they received a significant offer.

Casado is believed to have an asking price of €30m (£26m) and is under contract until June 2028 in Spain.

Tottenham Eyeing Marc Casado Deal

Among European clubs keen on the 21-year-old

According to SPORT, several Premier League and European clubs have explored a move for Casado in recent weeks, including Tottenham, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid.

While he looks unlikely to depart Blaugrana for now, Casado’s situation could reportedly change after the first two La Liga matches in August, as some players may be left out of Hansi Flick’s squad.

Casado was a regular under Flick last season, making 36 appearances across all competitions and registering seven goal contributions, before an injury in March ruled him out for the rest of the campaign.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Casado has won two senior caps for Spain to date.

Tottenham are anticipating a busy end to the summer transfer window following Joao Palhinha's arrival on loan and captain Son Heung-min’s decision to leave.

The South Korea international is now close to joining MLS side Los Angeles FC, and it remains to be seen whether Spurs will sign a replacement.

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo is believed to be a player of interest, with reports in Spain claiming Spurs have already taken the first step towards signing the Brazilian.

Tottenham have submitted a €100m (£87m) offer for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, Spanish publication Fichajes has claimed.

The Lilywhites have reportedly taken the first step towards signing the Brazil international as they aim to bring in a ‘quality’ replacement for their departing captain Son Heung-min.

The South Korean forward is now close to joining MLS side Los Angeles FC, and Rodrygo has been identified as his potential successor, although he is not ‘entirely convinced’ about joining the North London side.

Rodrygo reportedly believes a move to Spurs could be a step backwards in his career and may prefer to wait for an offer from a club with greater potential.

Tottenham Make Bid for Rodrygo

Brazilian ‘not convinced’ about Spurs move

Rodrygo has been heavily linked with both a departure from Real Madrid and a move to the Premier League in recent weeks.

The ‘world-class’ 24-year-old forward was not part of new head coach Xabi Alonso’s plans at the Club World Cup last month, where he made just three appearances, playing a total of 92 minutes.

Alonso’s tactical set-up has seen Rodrygo lose his starting place to Arda Guler in the tournament, hinting at a looming tough battle for regular minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu next season.

While he is believed to have the desire to remain at the club, Rodrygo is ‘aware’ his role at Real has changed and a move elsewhere is reportedly considered the best solution for his further development.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Rodrygo scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists for Real last season.

Tottenham have spent a total of around £120m on new signings this summer, with Kevin Danso, Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus among the notable arrivals.

The Lilywhites have also tried to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, but saw their efforts collapse, with the England international signing a new three-year contract at the City Ground.
