Tottenham are not done in the summer transfer window, and they could yet go after a Premier League attacker not named Savinho. Spurs have already spent more than £235million on new recruits so far, spending big on the likes of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke, while there have also been some smart deals, like the free signings of Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson.

But there is more big spending to come, even with this window already being a record-breaking window for Tottenham, with Roberto De Zerbi hoping to sign an attacker. Manchester City star Savinho has been heavily linked, but it could be one of the Brazilian’s teammates that Spurs end up pursuing.

Tottenham now considering Omar Marmoush deal

Tottenham’s attacker search could take them to City star Omar Marmoush, who could serve as an alternative to Savinho, who Spurs have eyed for much of the summer. De Zerbi spoke to Football.London this week and said: “The transfer market, it’s not finished for sure, but we completed 60 per cent of our project in the transfer market. Now we have another bomba!” That next signing doesn’t appear to be Marmoush, but a player does seem to be incoming.

Meanwhile, asked about the potential of signing an attacker, De Zerbi added: “I hope, but it’s not finished for sure.”

The same story adds that De Zerbi is a ‘big admirer’ of Marmoush, who is a potential target, along with Savinho. Although it will almost certainly be one or the other, given Tottenham’s big spending and the fact City are not going to sell both attackers, especially not to the same team.

Marmoush joined City in 2025 from Eintracht Frankfurt on a £59million deal, and he has since scored 10 times in 37 league appearances. Marmoush is more of a central striker than Savinho, but he can also operate comfortably out wide, and that versatility is something Spurs will like, given they could do with an attacker who can cover both the wide and central positions.

City would likely ask for big money to sell Marmoush, likely to want a profit on their investment in the 27-year-old. There is also the large matter of Marmoush’s wage, which is reported to be £250,000-per-week as things stand, and that will have to be matched, or perhaps even increased.

Marmoush has ‘something special’

Marmoush had a particularly big impact early on in his time at City, after arriving in the January window of 2025, and Erling Haaland said of the forward last year: “He has something special. He’s going to be a fantastic player for us. It’s about getting to know him as soon as possible, because there are so many important games coming.”

Meanwhile, Guardiola added: “The numbers are really, really, really good. When a player arrives mid-season and everything is fine, it’s easy, but what Omar has done is exceptional.”

Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz looks set to be on the move once again this summer after two separate loan deals during the 2025/26 campaign, with a move to join Manchester United on his agenda.

After a disappointing first season at Juventus following his move from Aston Villa in the summer of 2024, the Brazilian was given the green light to depart the Bianconeri on loan and initially headed to Nottingham Forest.

Amid his struggles at the City Ground with a thigh problem restricting his game time, the 28-year-old returned to former club Villa on loan until the end of the campaign.

Luiz featured more regularly under Unai Emery and finished his season by playing his part in the Villans’ Europa League triumph against SC Freiburg.

Now back at Juventus, what comes next for the midfielder will become clear in the weeks ahead.

Luiz’s dream move

Luiz’s dream is to secure a move to Manchester United this summer, according to Italian publication TuttoSport.

The player, described as being ‘world-class’ by former Villa teammate John McGinn, has interest from clubs in Brazil but a return to his homeland is seen as a last resort as he wants to play in England again.

Manchester United’s good relationship with Juventus is also mentioned, which in turn could help pave the way for Luiz’s dream move if the Red Devils want to lure him to Old Trafford.

Michael Carrick’s side have been busy in the summer transfer window already and they are expected to make further moves to bolster their squad, with Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba another who would ‘love’ to join the club.

The addition of another midfielder, on top of the signings of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, is viewed as a priority.

United want to bring in an experienced player capable of playing in a deeper role who can make an impact in the Champions League.

Luiz, who has made six appearances in Europe’s premier competition and a further 24 across the Europa League and Conference League, ticks all the boxes for Carrick’s side when it comes to their requirements for a new midfielder.

Potential swap deal

TuttoSport mention in their report that the good relationship between both clubs could open the door to a potential swap deal.

This would involve Luiz heading to Manchester United and Joshua Zirkzee moving in the opposite direction.

The Dutchman has been offered to the Italian side already and the players both share Kia Joorabchian as an agent.

Zirkzee is expected to depart Old Trafford before the summer deadline after two difficult seasons with the club.

The 25-year-old’s game time was restricted last term as he managed 26 appearances in all competitions, with just five Premier League starts to his name.

Juventus, Roma and Coma are all said to be interested in luring him back to Italy after a successful time with Bologna prior to his Manchester United transfer.

Liverpool are now said to be stepping up their efforts to land the elite attacker they are on the lookout for this summer. Andoni Iraola wants attacking football and bold wing-play at Anfield, as he has throughout much of his managerial career, and he needs the tools to do it.

Liverpool lost Mo Salah this summer, and while they have added to their wide ranks this summer, they need a truly elite and ready-to-go winger who they can plug and play going into the new season. But such attackers do not come cheap, and they are typically not easy to find or secure.

The Reds are prepared to pay big to land their man, but their main target could be about to test just how far they are willing to go in spending a huge sum of money.

Liverpool preparing to make Bradley Barcola offer

Liverpool have made Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola their priority target, with the winger well on his way to being a superstar. But his path to being a superstar, he likely feels, is blocked by Khvitxa Kvaratskhèlia, who is likely the best in the world in his position currently.

Barcola has still played plenty, coming on for Kvaratskhèlia, while his versatility has also allowed him to play in other positions. But at 23 years of age, and having proven his ability at the World Cup, as well as during the club season, Barcola is ready to play a starring role, and he has reportedly rejected a new PSG contract in his bid to land one.

There have been reports that Liverpool are willing to pay as much as £100million to land Barcola this summer, but PSG are said to be asking for as much as £145million, with their value based on some of the other huge fees paid this summer, especially in the Premier League.

But reliable Liverpool source David Lynch is optimistic about a deal as far as the Reds are concerned. “I think people think everything’s a brief, but I think in this situation, I think it’s fair to say that was a brief from Liverpool,” Lynch explained on an Anfield Index podcast.

“Clearly, I think you can take that as a given now they are progressing towards making a bid for Barcola.”

On the potential of the deal being advanced already, Lynch added: “He may even be in already really, they’ve been working on this for a long time.”

He continued: “There’ll probably be some rejected bids, you’ll probably hear some contradictory reporting… I would just say kind of be calm around this one. I think I said in the last pod that I was quite confident this one will happen.”

Barcola wants to play a starring role, and Liverpool can offer it

Liverpool needing to replace Salah has come at a perfect time for Barcola in his search for a starring role at a top club this summer. That’s something Lynch went on to highlight, adding: “So many of the ingredients are there to make this deal happen. The player wants it to happen as I understand it. Liverpool are clearly very highly sold on the player and want to get him. He’s got two years left on his contract. So PSG are really kind of taking a risk if they hold out for the higher end of their fee and they’ve got business themselves that they want to do.

“All the ingredients are there really for a compromise fee to be reached and for Liverpool to get it done with the player. So I still retain confidence.

“They’re (PSG) clearly preparing, aren’t they, for life without Barcola because he wants to go, as I understand it. He wants to be the main man somewhere. He wants to play more frequently. He doesn’t want to be left out when he gets to a Champions League final and be on the bench. Liverpool, by all accounts, are kind of offering that to him.”​​
