Should the deal reach its conclusion, Man City director Hugo Viana is expected to immediately scour the market for a replacement. While Semenyo has already proven to be a shrewd addition since joining from Bournemouth in January, the potential departure of Omar Marmoush to Spain could leave a significant void in their attacking depth.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are not stopping at Savinho. The club has already secured deals for Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson on free transfers as they look to provide a more stable foundation for the upcoming campaign. If Simons’ social media activity is anything to go by, the addition of a £60m Brazilian winger could be the next major step in their summer overhaul.
