Savinho to Spurs? Registration race for Brentford opener

Tottenham are closing in on Savinho, but can they get him registered in time for Saturday?

What happened. Tottenham are on the verge of signing Manchester City forward Savinho but face a race against time to register him for their Premier League opener against Brentford.

• Premier League registration deadline is 12pm on the last working day before a fixture.
• Spurs face Brentford on Saturday at 5.30pm, so paperwork must be done by Friday 12pm.
• The deal is expected to cost £75m plus add-ons, but a medical and signing may not be completed in time.

If not registered in time, Savinho would have to wait for a later match to make his debut.
