Tottenham are closing in on another potential arrival in the summer transfer window, with Italian journalist Nico Schira reporting that an agreement in principle has been reached on personal terms with one target.

It comes as Spurs continue to move at a quick pace in the market, sealing moves for Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers.

There have been two bids now rejected for Jan Paul van Hecke, with a potential third on the way, as Roberto De Zerbi’s rebuild is now firmly underway.

While the defensive ranks have been a clear area of focus, the next priority is the forward areas, with an agreement reached for one potential arrival.

Savinho Contract Agreement

Tottenham have shown plenty of interest in Savinho over the past year or so, opting against in the past two transfer windows, but interest has been revived once again.

Recent reports have claimed that Spurs are pushing to land the Manchester City winger, with a contract offer in the region of £120,000-a-week claimed to be made.

Now, Schira has reported via X that an agreement in principle has been reached between Tottenham and Savinho on the terms of a contract that will last until 2031.

The journalist claims that Roberto De Zerbi is keen on the 22-year-old, who has been described as “gifted” for his performances so far with City after costing them £30m.

All that is left is for a club-to-club agreement to be reached, before putting the finishing touches on the contract talks to secure yet another high-profile arrival.

That may get Tottenham closer to where they want to be, adding a player with Premier League quality and potential to grow even further in the future.

Pep Guardiola On Savinho

In Savinho, Tottenham could have an ideal one-on-one winger, who is capable of driving the team forward and making things happen in the final third.

It’s something Spurs have been lacking in recent seasons, not least due to injuries in the forward areas, but the Brazilian forward could provide that in bucket loads.

There are question marks over his end product, having scored just seven goals for Man City since joining the club, but that clinical edge is all that is missing so far.

It was something Pep Guardiola touched on earlier this season, when he said: “What I like from Savinho is always he is digging, go, go, go, all the time.

“The final decision can be better, of course, but always I reward this work ethic and especially because he goes and he goes all the time.”

That’s something Tottenham will be hoping De Zerbi can add to his game, coaching the 22-year-old to capitalise on the quality he has in general play.

If the forward can do that, then he will go on to become an important player in the Premier League for Spurs.

There is now just one week to go until the UFC hosts the first sporting event to ever take place on the grounds of the White House. UFC Freedom 250 will be one of the biggest and most important in company history, as its 14th of June date has been timed to celebrate both the 250th anniversary of the USA and President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday.

Although there is still some doubt over whether the event will go off without a hitch, all 14 fighters competing on the card have begun to dial in their weight ahead of the landmark event.

However, there is also a 15th fighter who is preparing for action just in case he is called upon.

In the main event of the evening in Washington DC, Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje are scheduled to meet for the undisputed UFC Lightweight Championship. Should either man be unable to compete, though, top 155lb contender Arman Tsarukyan is ready to step in as the back-up fighter for the bout.

Even if he doesn’t get the opportunity to fight on the South Lawn of the White House, Tsarukyan will still have a keen interest in the contest after he placed a staggering bet on the outcome of the headline fight.

During a recent appearance on a Kick stream alongside Deen The Great, Arman was goaded into making a huge wager after stating why he believed underdog Gaethje could cause an upset against Topuria.

Arman Tsarukyan’s Massive Bet on Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250

“When Gaethje fights, everyone always says he’ll lose, but he wins,” reasoned Tsarukyan. The 29-year-old Russian-Armenian was toying with the idea of putting $50,000 on a Gaethje victory, before a voice chimed in from off-camera saying: “Do a million!”

Tsarukyan looked unsure, but eventually said: “For a million, I’ll need to call a couple of guys!”

Arman ultimately placed the bet, but looked hugely uneasy afterwards.

“My heart, my heart. Bro, if my dad sees this,” he said, fearful of his father’s reaction to such a huge punt. His $1 million wager is significantly more than most UFC fighters earn in their whole careers.

If it pays off, though, Tsarukyan will bank an eye-watering sum. A Gaethje victory over Topuria will net Arman a massive $5.7 million! Only he will know if he would rather win the bet or lift the title as the back-up fighter if Gaethje was to pull out.
