Earlier this week, Tottenham confirmed the signing of Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush on an initial loan. He joins Savio as the club continue to bring in world-class talent in a transfer haul worth over £300M.
Savio marked his debut on Wednesday with a goal and an assist as a substitute in Spurs’ 5-1 EFL Cup win over Charlton and Marmoush will have his fingers crossed that he can make a similar impact against Newcastle.
Tottenham have won their opening home league matches in each of the last five seasons by an aggregate score of 14-1 and Newcastle avoided defeat in both of their Premier League meetings with Tottenham last season, including a 2-1 victory at this venue.
