Omar Marmoush is on the verge of joining Spurs after Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca confirmed he is “set to leave” the club.
Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign the forward on loan for the 2026/27 season with an obligation to buy for £60 million.
The transfer fee is reportedly broken up into a guaranteed £50 million plus a further £10 million in bonuses.
Marmoush will follow Savio in joining Spurs after the north London outfit signed the Brazilian winger from City for £85 million on Tuesday.

“I think Omar is set to leave,” Maresca said in his pre-match press conference ahead of Friday’s game against Crystal Palace.
“Nothing is done yet. We are waiting for that, but Nico Gonzalez left, Savio left and Omar is probably going to leave.”
City have sold a number of other first-team players this summer, including Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji, and also let John Stones and Bernardo Silva go at the end of their contracts.
They have invested heavily in youth in this window thus far, with Elliot Anderson (23) being the oldest outfielder they have brought in. But Maresca does not necessarily believe the club needs to sign players with more experience before the deadline.
“It’s not about experienced players,” he said. “I’ve said before that age does not open or close doors, it depends how good they are.
“In my former club, we had the youngest squad in the history of the Premier League and here, we are in this moment, quite young in terms of the squad, but we have players who have the right experience.”
When asked how many more signings he wants to make before Tuesday’s 11pm deadline, Maresca replied: “It’s the transfer window, anything can happen. We see it’s four or five more days to go and we’ll see, but in this moment, it’s quite difficult to think about the winter transfer window.
“We have a game in just over 24 hours, so I’m just focused on preparing for tomorrow’s game that in the end is the most important thing for us.”
