With Savinho officially joining Tottenham Hotspur, one player who started for Spurs against Brentford is now very close to the exit door.
Tottenham’s attack has received a much-needed injection of quality, with the Lilywhites raiding Man City for two of their forwards.
Savinho has officially been announced, and Omar Marmoush is expected to follow soon for a combined fee of £135m, with the pair potentially set for debuts against Newcastle on Saturday if they are not involved in the Carabao Cup clash against Charlton tomorrow.
As the two City players arrive at Hotspur Way, Tottenham are finally prepared to greenlight the departure of one of their young guns.
FC Koln intensifying efforts to wrap up loan deal for Tottenham’s Mikey Moore
TEAMtalk have now revealed that with Savinho having arrived at Tottenham and with Omar Marmoush expected to follow him through the door, FC Koln are intensifying their efforts to finalise a season-long loan deal for Moore.
An agreement between all three parties has been in place for several weeks, with Spurs already having given approval for the 18-year-old to complete a straight loan move to Germany.
Now that attacking reinforcements have arrived at Tottenham, the situation has been ‘unlocked’, with the Lilywhites having issued a ‘formal clearance’ for the transfer.
Köln are now ‘driving the process forward with urgency’, and they want the transfer to be wrapped up as quickly as possible.
With both clubs working around the clock on the remaining formalities, sources close to the deal say that all parties are targeting a full completion within the next 48 hours.
Omar Marmoush’s arrival at Spurs could pave the way for a big sale
While Savinho has now officially completed his move to Tottenham, Omar Marmoush is currently in London waiting for Man City to give the final green light on the transfer.
According to various reports, the arrival of Marmoush is expected to open the door for Richarlison to be sold by Spurs.
Everton remain in regular contact over a deal for the Tottenham striker, with De Zerbi already having informed him that he is free to find a new club.
