Tottenham sign Savinho from Manchester City for £75m

Tottenham have signed Brazil winger Savinho from Manchester City for an initial £75m.

The 22-year-old has joined Spurs on a long-term contract, with Roberto de Zerbi's side potentially paying a further £10m in add-ons.

Savinho's move to north London has been more than 12 months in the making, with Spurs failing in a bid to sign him last summer.

Savinho opted to remain at Etihad Stadium, but his game time was limited under Pep Guardiola last term when he made just seven Premier League starts.

"It's taken a while, but I'm very happy to be here," said Savinho.

"It's a wonderful opportunity at a brilliant club with one of the best managers in the world.

"As soon as I spoke to the head coach, I knew I had to come. He told me he wants to help me reach the highest level, and I believe we can do that together, as a team."

Savinho joined City from French side Troyes in a £30.8m deal in 2024 and has made 84 appearances for the club in total, scoring seven goals and providing 16 assists.

The Brazil international joins Spurs following the arrivals of Mateus Fernandes from West Ham, Sandro Tonali from Newcastle and Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton this summer for a combined £312m.

Spurs have also brought in defenders Marcos Senesi and Andrew Robertson on free transfers and goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.

"Savio is a player who brings energy, imagination and quality in wide positions. He has the courage to attack defenders and the ability to change a game with his creativity," said De Zerbi.

City also remain in advanced talks to sell Egypt forward Omar Marmoush to Spurs, and sources with knowledge of the situation say there is a "good chance" the deal gets completed before the 1 September transfer deadline.
