He came off the bench to score and assist in their 5-1 victory at home to Charlton Athletic in the second round of the Carabao Cup.

However, he must wait to make his Premier League debut for his new club as he is missing from the 20-man squad against Newcastle.

Savio is understood to be missing the match as a result of a knock.

Omar Marmoush, who has also joined from City, will make his first Spurs appearance as he has been selected in the starting XI.

Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke, Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes are the other summer signings to appear from the off.
