Transfer latest: Tottenham have agreed a deal with Manchester City to sign winger Savinho for £75m, with a further £10m in potential add-ons

BBC Sport reported earlier this week that Aston Villa had agreed the deal to sign West Ham defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The DR Congo right-back was given permission to travel for a medical in the Midlands but the exact terms of the deal at that point were not known, with the Hammers having previously asked interested clubs to pay a £25m fee.
The 28-year-old has missed Championship side West Ham's first two matches of the season during negotiations.
Aston Villa signed Harvey Elliott from Liverpool on a similar loan deal last season and chose not to play the England midfielder for the majority of the campaign, rather than trigger the terms of the obligation to buy.
Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham on a season-long loan, with a "conditional obligation to buy".
More to follow.

Opta's Premier League numbers from last season show Omar Marmoush averaged 11.46 runs in behind per 90 minutes, almost identical to Dominic Solanke's 11.61 and ahead of Richarlison's 10.03. But he also offered considerably more with the ball.
Marmoush averaged 5.67 progressive carries per 90 minutes, compared with 3.24 for Solanke and 2.48 for Richarlison.
He also led both Tottenham forwards for shots, chances created, successful take-ons and touches in the opposition penalty area.
He had 3.86 shots per 90 minutes compared with 2.81 for Richarlison and 1.80 for Solanke, while Marmoush created 1.55 chances against 0.92 and 0.54 respectively.
He also produced 0.77 goals and assists per game, ahead of Richarlison's 0.69 and Solanke's 0.27.
The sample is smaller because of his limited league minutes, but the profile is clear.
Marmoush is more inclined to take opponents on and manufacture shooting opportunities for himself than Spurs' existing central forwards.
That could make him particularly useful when opponents sit deep and deny Tottenham the space to attack directly.

I'd say Marmoush is a more useful and flexible signing than Savinho tbh.
Mark, Bournemouth
When the Marmoush fee is announced, the Savinho fee will make sense.
Matt, London
Savinho price tells us Marmoush is happening - over inflated to reduce Marmoush sale price. To reduce the sell-on clause.

Below is a reminder of the attacking options Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi has at his disposal.
Where do you believe Savinho and Omar Marmoush would fit best in the current line-up.
Are they automatic starters or good competition for the players already at Spurs?:

Omar Marmoush is primarily a number nine, but he has rarely been confined to one role across the front line.
At Frankfurt he was used predominantly through the middle but also appeared as a second striker and from the left. City have followed a similar pattern, using him mainly as a central attacker while also deploying him from the flank and just behind another forward.
That flexibility could suit Roberto de Zerbi. His teams have often relied on forwards changing positions, dropping towards the ball and then attacking the space created when opponents are drawn out. Marmoush is comfortable doing both.
Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha sees the Egyptian as most dangerous when he is able to threaten the space beyond the defence.
"As much as he is good dropping towards the ball, I think he is better when he plays on the shoulder," he said. "He needs to be in a team that will constantly play balls in behind and force the opposition to run back towards their own goal. That's when you see a better version of Marmoush."

BBC Sport understands that talks with Manchester City over a deal for Egypt forward Omar Marmoush are "progressing positively".
Right, back to this morning's big story.
We have discussed what Savinho could bring to Tottenham after news that Spurs have agreed to pay Manchester City an initial £75m for the Brazilian winger, with the fee potentially rising to £85m with add-ons.
The fee has raised eyebrows, with 88% of readers who took part in our poll this morning saying that it is "too expensive".

Arsenal v Coventry (20:00 BST)
Coventry City make their Premier League bow at defending champions Arsenal tonight (kick off 20:00 BST).
It promises to be a tough opener for Frank Lampard's side, who won their place back in the top flight by finishing top of the Championship last season.
Coventry City
Image source, Coventry CityCoventry City have announced the signing of English goalkeeper Dan Bentley from Wolves on a two-year contract.
The 33-year-old former Southend and Brentford stopper has made just 14 appearances for Wolves over the past three seasons since signing from Bristol City.
He is keen to bring experience to the goalkeeping group at Coventry on their return to the Premier League.
"I’m a senior player with good leadership qualities and someone who has really high standards," he told the Sky Blues website.
"Of course, I want to make my mark on the pitch as well. There’s a really good goalkeeping group here, so I want to complement that group and when I get my opportunity, it’s down to me to take it."

Savinho is very expensive and hasn’t shown worth of being £85m. However, Marmoush will be a more important signing for Spurs if they do it. Given consistent game time, I think he’ll be a great signing for any Premier League club.

As a Spurs fan I agree the price is high, but everyone seems to be forgetting that the vast majority of Savinho’s appearances are off the bench as he is in direct competition with Doku.

Image source, Getty ImagesSavinho's versatility and directness could suit Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi's approach.
His teams often try to draw opponents forward in possession before exploiting the space that opens up, creating one-against-one situations for wide players.
Savinho's acceleration and willingness to take defenders on make him well suited to those moments.
From the left he can hold the width and attack the outside, while from the right he can move inside on to his stronger left foot and combine with team-mates.
His value is not limited to goals.
At Girona, much of his threat came from carrying the ball over distance and disrupting defensive shape, which could give Spurs a more direct route through compact defences and create openings for central forwards.
That side of his game was less visible at City, where competition for attacking places was intense and players such as Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki were better suited to central roles.
Tottenham are therefore investing in the qualities Savinho showed so clearly at Girona: pace, ball carrying, one-against-one ability and chance creation from wide areas.
At 22, those attributes help explain why Spurs are prepared to pay a huge sum despite his modest scoring return in Manchester.

As a City season ticket holder I wanted Savinho to work but he never managed to make a mark, seemed to lack confidence. If this can change he can be a good player, but for the money being reported it's a no-brainer for City to sell.
Paul, Preston
Spending £300million on players this summer won't guarantee Spurs doing any better this season than last. The players they're bringing in are very overrated. Both Savinho and Marmoush were fringe/squad players at City, and I don't expect them to finish much higher than mid table.
Rob, Huddersfield
A good signing, but a bit pricey. Will hopefully add something a bit different to the attack. Need someone through the middle but ultimately there is sign of intent to get the club back up the table and into Europe again. Can't wait to see how comes next.

Manchester City signed Savinho on the back of that impressive campaign for Girona, but the Brazilian was unable to establish himself as an automatic starter and was never given a consistent run in the first team...
Mohamed Moallim
BBC Sport
Image source, Getty ImagesSavinho's reputation was built during a breakout 2023-24 campaign with Girona, where he was on loan from Troyes, when he became one of La Liga's most dangerous ball carriers.
He featured in 37 league matches as Girona secured Champions League qualification for the first time, registering nine goals and eight assists across his various attacking roles.
Savinho also led La Liga for:
He also ranked second for passes into the penalty area and progressive carrying distance.
Most of his best work came from the left. Girona used him there in 27 matches, during which he scored five goals and supplied six assists, although he also featured centrally and from the right.

Is the Savinho price too high? Of course it is. Is he the right player for Spurs? The management team think so. Should the club back the manager and have they got the funds? Yes. So buy him! No one will worry about the fee if it works out.
David, Lincolnshire
When signing for Manchester City in July 2024, Savinho explained what he believed was his best position.
The Brazilian said: "I can play on the left, on the right. I can play inside too, but my best position, the one I like playing the most, is playing on the right wing.”
He added: "I’m a Brazilian who likes to play on the front foot, to be happy, to play joyful football. I like playing one against one, making assists, scoring goals too, and helping the team. My main characteristic, what I like the most, is being happy and getting fans up off their seats."
