Tottenham have agreed a deal worth up to £85million for Manchester City winger Savinho.
The Brazilian has been a long-term target of Tottenham, who tried and failed to sign Savinho last summer.

Standard Sport understands Spurs have agreed to pay £75m for Savinho, with an additional £10m in performance-related add-ons, £5m of which are considered highly achievable.
It will be a club-record sale for City, and the third time this summer that Spurs have spent £85m or more on a player. Their club-record signing before the window was the £65m spent on Dominic Solanke two years ago.
Savinho will now undergo a medical before committing his long-term future to Spurs.
The 22-year-old must be registered before 12pm on Friday to be in contention to make his debut in Spurs’ opening game of the new Premier League season, against Brentford, on Saturday night.
City rejected a Spurs bid for Savinho last summer, deciding they wished for the Brazilian to stay with them throughout the 2025-26 campaign.
But Savinho struggled for game time and now, a year on, is being allowed to leave. Palmeiras winger Allan Elias has reportedly been idenitifed as a replacement for Savinho.
After the season ended, he and his representatives were clear that more game time in the season ahead was a priority for Brazil international.
Spurs are now prepared to move on to securing their second City target of the summer. They are in talks to sign Savinho’s City team-mate Omar Marmoush.
Tottenham are also interested in Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, but it remains to be seen whether they would look to advance that deal if they managed to secure Marmoush as well as Savinho.
Their summer spending will reach the £300m mark once Savinho’s move is finalised.
