TOTTENHAM has suffered another setback, as potential transfer target Savinho is sidelined with an injury for two months.

Spurs had hoped to sign him, but he ended up extending his contract at his current club.

However, his playing time at the Etihad has been limited this season and is likely to be further affected by the arrival of new players at Bournemouth.

Spurs were anticipated to renew their interest this month after selling a player for £35 million.

The urgency for reinforcements has increased due to another injury against their rival.

Spurs are concerned that the Ghanaian player could be out for an extended period, and an update is expected in today's press conference.

They have been actively searching the market for new wingers.

However, a move for Savinho now appears quite improbable following his injury, which he sustained during a match against Sunderland.

It remains to be seen whether the setback with Savinho will lead Spurs to pursue his City teammate.

Tottenham had shown interest in the Egyptian player before he transferred to City from Eintracht Frankfurt for £59 million.

Marmoush, who is currently away on international duty, has had limited opportunities this season due to injuries and being a backup player.

SunSport understands that City is not interested in loaning out the versatile forward this window and would only consider selling for a substantial offer.

Marmoush has appeared in ten Premier League matches this season but has yet to score.

His only goal came during the EFL Cup fourth-round victory over Swansea City back in October.

Spurs are also interested in wonderkid Yan Diomande, but the German club is highly confident that the 19-year-old will not be leaving this month.

A more feasible deal could involve Nigerian Sani Suleiman, also 19, from the Slovakian team AS Trencin, which Spurs are monitoring as well.
