Manchester City have sold winger Sávio (formerly known as Savinho) to Tottenham Hotspur for £75m, a substantial profit on the £30.8m they paid for him two seasons ago, despite the 22-year-old Brazilian managing just two goals in 53 league appearances during his time at the Etihad. The deal, which could rise to £85m with add-ons, highlights City's continued success in the transfer market even when offloading players who have underperformed, and sets up an immediate impact at Spurs, where he is expected to replace Mikey Moore on the right flank.

Sávio, who has reverted to the name he used during a prolific loan spell at Girona (11 goals, 10 assists), will hope to rediscover that form in north London after a quiet stint in Manchester. The piece also touches on separate football news: senior figures including Lucy Bronze and David James have called for change at the top of Fifa amid criticism of Gianni Infantino's leadership, a stance dismissed by Cameroon federation head Samuel Eto'o, who suggested the criticism was politically timed ahead of an election.
