Tottenham confirm Marmoush signing

Tottenham have confirmed the signing of Omar Marmoush on a season-long loan from Manchester City, with an obligation to buy next summer.

"It feels amazing to be here. I'm so excited to get started with the team and I can't wait to meet the fans," the 27-year-old Egypt forward said.

"Tottenham Hotspur is one of the biggest clubs in England, if not the world, and the project was very attractive to me.

"I've spoken with the head coach, I loved what he had to say and I'm sure our passion for the game will go very well together."

Rose '120% sure' Scott is staying at Bournemouth

Bournemouth v Everton (Sat, 15:00 BST)

Bournemouth

Bournemouth boss Marco Rose on whether he feels more additions are needed before the transfer window closes: "I've said several times that I feel we are in a really good spot. We have a competitive team already, despite it not being really big. We have competition of at least two players in every position and that should be enough. We also have enough to take care of our players' load. For me, it isn't necessary to be looking for any other players right now."

On feeling confident that Alex Scott will still be a Bournemouth player come 2 September: "I'm not just confident, I'm sure. I'm not just quite sure, I'm sure. Forget 100%, is there a 120%? That's how sure I am.

"We know we aren't going to sell anyone. That's what we said, that's what we were going for, and now we just have a few more days of rumours left. Our point of view was always very clear - we wanted to try to keep this group together. We had already lost two important players in Marcos Senesi and Alex Jimenez."

Christie 'back from suspension' but Rodriguez still 'adapting'

Bournemouth v Everton (Sat, 15:00 BST)

Bournemouth

Bournemouth boss Marco Rose started off with an injury update: "We look in a good spot. The long-term absentees remain the same, but Ryan Christie is back from his suspension and injury. Tyler Adams, Juanlu Sanchez and Julio Soler have had one more week of training as well, so the situation in the squad is good."

On whether Alvaro Rodriguez is still building up fitness after being benched last weekend: "No, he is ready to go. At the end of the day, it is all about adapting to the demands and the intensity of the Premier League for him. That's what we are working on. He had a good week of training, we are going step-by-step with not only him but also Juanlu Sanchez. He is progressing in a good way."

Grealish keen on Everton, Man City look at Ndiaye

Jack Grealish's preference would be to return to Everton should he leave Manchester City in the remaining days of the transfer window, sources have told BBC Sport.

And City hold an interest in signing Toffees winger Iliman Ndiaye, who has rejected multiple contract offers on Merseyside.

Grealish, 30, has appeared as a substitute in City's opening two games of the season, but new boss Enzo Maresca is open to letting the Englishman leave the club before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Nidaye, meanwhile, is a player City are looking at.

Saudi side Al-Hilal held a strong interest in signing the Senegal international this summer, but the 26-year-old reportedly turned down the move.

David Moyes' side are under no pressure to sell Ndiaye, whose contract runs until 2029, and are likely to demand a significant fee in the region of £70m to even consider a sale.

'We want to prove everybody wrong'

Coventry City v Hull City (Sat, 15:00 BST)

Hull City

Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic on how he is enjoying his experience so far as a Premier League manager: "I enjoy very much. Still for me this is football and I am just doing my hob. It is a great motivation for me that I can show my potential and we can be competitive and play against much bigger teams. We want to prove everybody wrong and that we are on a good way. That is good motivation."

On whether his side suit being underdogs?: "Of course we are underdogs. We spent £144m in transfer market. Who is close to us? Coventry spent £260m/£270m.

"It's normal but still money doesn't play. Always that is my opinion. I never see money scoring the goal, it is players. As a team we can be dangerous and competitive."

Hull squad 'completely fine' for Coventry visit

Coventry City v Hull City (Sat, 15:00 BST)

Hull City

Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic was asked about the team news and whether there will be any changes from the opening day win over Manchester United: "We are fine. All these players had a training session today.

"We are all completely fine. So, we are ready for Saturday."

On rotating his full starting XI for Tuesday's Carabao Cup second round tie at Stoke, which the Tigers won on penalties: "We use this opportunity to give minutes to the players who arrived and it was great because it's also about adaptation.

"It means we can have more players for the next games and I was very pleased because they played a good game."

Havertz, Saka, Odegaard and White partnership

Another part of why Bukayo Saka looks like he is in a flow state so early in the season is the return of Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard and Ben White to full fitness.

There is no debate that White and Saka's partnership down the right-hand side, with the defender's overlapping runs, unlock the best in Saka.

The partnership he has with Odegaard and Havertz is also crucial to a fluid Arsenal attack and the win over Coventry was just the second time since December 2024 that the trio started a Premier League game together, such have been their injury problems.

There have been questions about whether Arteta is too reliant on Saka, and before the start of this season the winger had played 153 matches, with 61 of them being the full 90 minutes, across the past three seasons.

But with an enforced break through injury and then lower minutes at the World Cup, he could be about to produce the regular scintillating performances we have become used to.

Timber 'progressing well' but Saliba 'going to take a while'

On Jurrien Timber and William Saliba, who are both sidelined with respective injuries, Mikel Arteta said: "Jurrien is progressing really well. Let's see how he ends this week.

"We have increased his load so if everything goes well then next we can step it up again.

"Willy [Saliba] is in a much more conservative program right now. That's going to take a while."

'If we're going to sign somebody in their position then I tell them'

Aston Villa v Arsenal (Mon, 20:00 BST)

Arsenal

On managing players in the transfer window when there's so much speculation, Mikel Arteta said: "Very simply - knock on my door and I'll tell you if what you are reading is true.

"If we put names on the walls of all the players we've wanted in the last few months I think we'd need a whole new building to put it on.

"They know a lot is speculation. If they feel in doubt of what we think of them then I tell them straight away.

"If we're going to sign somebody in their position then I tell them."

Tottenham have agreed a loan deal to sign Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush, with an obligation to make the deal permanent for £60m next summer.

The 27-year-old Egypt international follows Savio from City to Spurs after the north London club signed the Brazilian for an initial fee of £75m on Tuesday.

Marmoush joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt for £59m last January but had to play second fiddle to Erling Haaland for much of his time at Etihad Stadium.

Savinho's involvement for Manchester City fell sharply last season after the club signed winger Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth in January.

He played 821 Premier League minutes, scoring once and providing one assist, while featuring in only 31% of City's available minutes.

That was a significant drop from the previous campaign, when he played 54%.

Yet his 2024-25 numbers show why Tottenham are prepared to invest heavily in him. Savinho registered eight Premier League assists that season, all from open play, despite playing only 1,773 minutes. Only five players recorded more from open play.

On a per-90 basis, he ranked third for open-play assists with 0.41, while only Mohamed Salah created more chances per 90 than Savinho's 2.2.

His biggest threat, though, came from carrying the ball. Among Premier League players with at least 1,000 minutes in 2024-25, only Jeremy Doku averaged more progressive carries of at least 10 metres than Savinho's 6.8 per 90.

Savinho also led the division for carries followed by a chance created, averaging 1.3 per 90, while only Son Heung-min ended a carry with an assist more frequently.

He completed 2.6 dribbles per 90 with a 51% success rate and used those carries to draw defenders towards him before releasing team-mates.

That ability was even more evident during his breakout season at Girona. Savinho played 2,989 minutes in La Liga in 2023-24, with 65% of them coming on the left wing. He scored nine goals, supplied eight assists and established himself as one of the division's most dangerous one-against-one players.

At City, his role shifted. Across his two Premier League seasons, his most common position was on the right, accounting for 36% of his minutes, compared to 20% on the left. That versatility could matter at Spurs.

David Dimbleby tells the story of how America became a superpower

Tottenham Hotspur have lost six of their last eight Premier League games against Newcastle (W1 D1), and haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 14 against the Magpies.

Newcastle have won more Premier League away against Spurs than at any other opponent (13), winning three of their last four visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (L1).

There has been at least one goal scored in all 62 Premier League meetings between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle, making it the most played fixture in the competition never to finish 0-0.

Tottenham Hotspur have won their opening home league game in each of the last five seasons by an aggregate score of 14-1. Only once before have Spurs had a longer run, winning their home opener 11 times in succession from 1923-24 to 1933-34.

Tottenham haven’t lost their opening two Premier League games in a season since the 2011-12 campaign, while Spurs last failed to score in their first two games in 1992-93.

Since the start of last season, Newcastle United have dropped more points from winning positions than any other Premier League side (29) – the Magpies went 1-0 and 2-1 ahead on MD1 before drawing 2-2 with Liverpool.

Since the start of the 2023-24 season, only West Ham (19), Wolves (15), and Aston Villa (13) have lost more Premier League games by a margin of three or more goals than Tottenham (11), who were beaten 3-0 on MD1 by Brentford.

Newcastle have only won four of their last 22 away Premier League matches (D6 L12), but their last two away wins have been in London – 2-1 at Spurs in February and 1-0 at Chelsea in March.

Newcastle’s Anthony Elanga has already scored more goals (1 from 2 shots) in the 2026-27 campaign than he managed in 2025-26 (0 from 17 shots). Elanga made the most sprints of any winger across MD1 this season (23).

Marcos Senesi ranked top for Tottenham Hotspur for successful passes (75), duels won (12), and tackles (5) in their 3-0 defeat to Brentford. His 75 successful passes were the most by a Spurs player on their Premier League debut on record (since 2003-04).

Striker Dominic Solanke is available to play and Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro will be named on the bench.

Mohammed Kudus remains sidelined and James Maddison will miss the match because of "a small injury" in his shoulder.

De Zerbi is unsure whether new signing Savio will "be ready" to start the game, but he is expected to be in the matchday squad.

On Savio: "In terms of one-on-one, he's one of the best players and can play on either side.

He said his side had enough quality to "do much better" in the opening 3-0 defeat at Brentford, but changing the mentality is "a big challenge".

More from De Zerbi on Sunday's loss: "We need to get used to winning the matches. We have to change the mood. I think the environment has to change - the players inside and the people inside have to change this mentality."

The Italian said Solanke is an "important player but he has to play much better than [he did] against Brentford", adding: "We need the striker to hold the ball when the opposition go man-to-man."

De Zerbi said Spurs have been "working very well" in this summer's transfer market, but he couldn't say whether there will be any more incomings or outgoings.

Nottingham Forest are determined to keep full-back Neco Williams this summer amid late interest from Tottenham.

Spurs' interest in the 25-year-old is at an exploratory stage, but sources close to Forest insist the City Ground club will not consider selling the Wales international this summer.

Williams proved a crucial player last season and is expected to play a key role for new manager Oliver Glasner this time around. Forest remain in talks with the former Liverpool defender over a new contract and it is their intention to extend his current deal - which expires in summer 2929 - to reflect his importance to the squad.

Reds boss Glasner has an interest in Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, which poses a potential discussion point between the two clubs, but Spurs manager Roberto de Zerbi has insisted the 20-year-old Sweden international will stay in north London.

Tottenham have sold defender Djed Spence to Inter Milan and are open to signing a replacement - and it is understood De Zerbi would prefer one with Premier League experience.

Like Spence, Williams - who has made over 150 Premier League appearances - can play on both flanks, but is predominantly a left-back.

Spurs have options on the left in Destiny Udogie, Any Robertson and Ben Davies. Udogie is understood to have interest from Italy, while Robertson and Davies are in the latter stages of their careers.

At right-back, Pedro Porro is first choice but there is no direct competition - though Archie Gray can fill in.

As a result, there is a will at Spurs to sign a younger, versatile full-back before the window closes at 23:00 BST on 1 September.

Winger Savinho says "it's taken a while" but he is "very happy" to have signed for Tottenham.

The 22-year-old's move to north London has been more than 12 months in the making, with Spurs failing in a bid to sign him last summer.

"It's a wonderful opportunity at a brilliant club with one of the best managers in the world," said Savinho.

"As soon as I spoke to the head coach, I knew I had to come. He told me he wants to help me reach the highest level, and I believe we can do that together, as a team."

De Zerbi added: "Savio is a player who brings energy, imagination and quality in wide positions. He has the courage to attack defenders and the ability to change a game with his creativity.

"We're very pleased to have him with us, and I'm looking forward to working with him, helping him continue to grow and seeing him bring his personality to the team."

Savinho joined Manchester City from French side Troyes in 2024, but his game time was limited under Pep Guardiola last term when he made just seven Premier League starts.

Spurs sporting director Johan Lange said the Brazilian "will excite our supporters every time he gets on the ball", adding: "He has already shown his quality at the highest level and we believe his ability, style and mentality will be a great fit for the squad we are building here.

"I'm looking forward to watching his development under Roberto's coaching."
