Tottenham's Bold Response After Brentford Defeat with Double City Signing

Tottenham did not wait long to respond to their bruising Premier League start. A 3-0 defeat at Brentford on the opening weekend has jolted the club into action, and the answer is clear: spend, and spend big.

Barely a day after that setback, Spurs have moved decisively in the transfer market and are closing in on a second attacking signing from Manchester City.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reported on Sunday afternoon that Tottenham and City have reached a full agreement for Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush in a deal worth €60 million. The former Eintracht Frankfurt striker is expected in London on Monday to undergo his medical and complete the move.

It is a bold response. And it does not come in isolation.

Tottenham are already set to bring in Savinho from City in a separate deal worth around €100 million. Now, with Marmoush also on the way, Spurs are preparing to reshape their frontline with two major signings from the champions.

From a humbling at Brentford to a double raid on City in the space of 24 hours: Tottenham have made their intentions for this season unmistakably clear.
