Overview

• Spurs have intensified their pursuit of Savinho with a proposal reported to exceed €70 million following weekend talks.
• Manchester City are reluctant to sell and are said to be holding out for an €80m-plus fee, with suggestions they could block a move even at that price.
• Reports indicate Savinho’s agent has travelled to Manchester and that the winger is keen on the switch to secure regular minutes.
• Tottenham’s urgency has grown after setbacks for Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White, the departure of Heung-min Son, and an injury to James Maddison.
• Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche is under consideration, with reports suggesting an offer around £47.5 million would be accepted in the final days of the window.
