Overview

  • The Independent reports Spurs are working to sign Maghnes Akliouche and targeting at least one more attacker, with Monaco’s price understood to be about €55m (£47.5m).
  • Multiple outlets citing Brazilian outlet Globo claim Tottenham have tabled or are preparing a club‑record offer for Savinho in the £69–70m (€80m) range, though this remains unconfirmed.
  • Fabrizio Romano says Manchester City are a major stumbling block to any Savinho deal, aligning with Pep Guardiola’s public stance that a move would require agreement with the club.
  • After losing Eberechi Eze to Arsenal and seeing a move for Morgan Gibbs‑White stall, Spurs have broadened enquiries to Tyler Dibling, Xavi Simons, Morgan Rogers and Nico Paz, with sources suggesting Paz could be most attainable.
  • Coverage notes Tottenham’s leverage has weakened late in the window following setbacks and injuries, increasing urgency to secure wide and creative reinforcements.
