Savinho transfer completed, £90m surprise - Dream Tottenham end to summer window

So far, so good for Tottenham in the 2025/26 season. Thomas Frank has got off to the perfect start at Spurs after replacing Ange Postecoglou with victories over Burnley and Manchester City.

The victory over City has made people sit-up and take notice of Tottenham. Not only did Frank's team catch City on the counter-attack and nullify their play, they controlled the second-half to keep another clean sheet at the Etihad Stadium.

Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha have both impressed in their first two games in Tottenham colours but with less than a week until the transfer window closes until the New Year, time is running out for more additions to be made ahead of a hectic season.

After missing out on Morgan Gibbs-White, Eberechi Eze and Bryan Mbeumo, Spurs are still in the market for new players. Frank's clear preference of Richarlison with Dominic Solanke and Mathys Tel also options means the centre-forward slot isn't a priority.

Behind the number nine and despite Kudus' arrival from West Ham, Tottenham need numbers in the attacking positions. Son Heung-min's move to LAFC and James Maddison's ACL injury means the area is now a priority.

football.london understands that Spurs remain intent on signing Savinho from Manchester City with the 21-year-old keen on the move.City want to keep the Brazilian but a teasing offer could be enough to bring the versatile forward to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche and Atalanta's Ademola Lookman are alternatives for Spurs but Savinho's capability to play in the No.10 role makes him the 'better' signing. As a Brazilian international with a year of Premier League experience under his belt, he would take Frank's attack to the next level.

In a dream world, Spurs will also strengthen their attacking midfielder options. Dejan Kulusevski's injury means a player like Lucas Paqueta would go down a treat in north London. According tothe Daily Mail, Tottenham are monitoring the developments of the Brazilian at West Ham.

The 27-year-old could leave Graham Potter's squad before Monday's deadline if a suitable offer comes in with it expected that the Hammers would demand close to £60m for the playmaker to ensure they don't make a loss.

On the topic of surprise signings and doing something others have done to Spurs, a move to hijack Crystal Palace's raid on Atletico Madrid for Conor Gallagher would significantly improve the numbers in midfield.

Palhinha has impressed in his first two games for the club with Pape Matar Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur also catching the eye. But with Champions League football returning to the club, quality options in depth is a necessity.

Spurs were linked with Gallagher before he moved to Atleti and now, The Sun have claimed that the midfielder is open to a return to England with Palace keen. With the World Cup taking place next summer, regular football is vital.

Gallagher has only played 67 minutes of Atletico's opening two games this season and is one to keep an eye on. His arrival would supply strong competition in midfield and provide competition in midfield that Spurs have lacked for some time.
