Omar Marmoush has reportedly decided to leave Manchester City this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur holding talks over a potential deal for the striker.
Marmoush's decision and Tottenham interest
According to The Athletic, the 27-year-old Egyptian has already made up his mind to depart the Etihad Stadium, despite Pep Guardiola's departure and Enzo Maresca taking over as manager. David Ornstein reported on Wednesday evening that Spurs were looking into a double raid at Manchester City, eyeing moves for both Savinho and Marmoush as Roberto De Zerbi continues to strengthen his squad.
Tottenham have been pursuing Brazilian winger Savinho for an extended period, but their interest in Marmoush is fresh. The striker has struggled for game time since his arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 for £59 million. He has played backup to star striker Erling Haaland, whose goalscoring feats have made him nearly impossible to displace.
Marmoush's Premier League record
Marmoush played 21 times in the Premier League last term, scoring three goals, following his seven strikes in 16 appearances the season prior. Spurs are still in the market for more signings despite spending £237 million already in this summer transfer window.
De Zerbi has landed the likes of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes for £100 million and £85 million respectively, while Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Jan Paul van Hecke have all arrived to bolster the backline. Now, the head coach wants reinforcements in the final third, with a long list of injury absentees leaving Spurs short.
Questions over Spurs forwards
There are question marks over Richarlison's future, while there are concerns over Dominic Solanke's fitness after the former Bournemouth man was plagued by ankle problems last term.
