Tottenham is working on a double signing but depends on deals involving Liverpool.

Tottenham is ramping up efforts to bolster their attack, with a particular focus on signing Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo, while simultaneously moving towards an agreement for Manchester City’s Savinho. Sources close to the agent industry have confirmed that “the Spurs are actively working on both deals,” highlighting manager Roberto De Zerbi’s determination to strengthen his team’s frontline for the new season.

Savinho appears to be a more viable option for Tottenham, with the Brazilian expressing a desire to move from City. Gakpo's situation, on the other hand, remains shrouded in uncertainty. The Dutch international may be available this summer after a challenging period at Anfield, but his departure will largely depend on Liverpool's ability to secure the signings of Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye. This scenario complicates the potential transfer, as Liverpool does not intend to release Gakpo without first securing a replacement.

Liverpool's efforts to secure Barcola reflect the complexity and costs involved in the deal, with no guarantees that it will materialize. However, the expectation is that once Liverpool makes progress in signing the French player, it could allow for Gakpo's departure. Nevertheless, at this moment, the Reds are not willing to risk selling the Dutchman, as the lack of a new signing for the position would leave the team reliant on Gakpo for the season.

In addition to Tottenham, Newcastle United has also shown interest in Gakpo, although negotiations are stalled due to the asking price for the 27-year-old player. Bayern Munich had also expressed interest last year, but did not renew that intention for this transfer window. There are mentions of interest from other Premier League clubs, but details remain scarce.

The ongoing pursuit of Savinho and Gakpo by Tottenham indicates the club's willingness to invest in improving its squad. Gakpo's situation is a point of concern, especially as Tottenham's management awaits progress in negotiations for Barcola to expedite its own approach. The next steps will be crucial in determining whether the Spurs can secure one or both strikers before the transfer window closes.
