Tottenham Hotspur’s poor run of form continued as they were beaten 2-1 by Liverpool on Saturday night.
After Xavi Simons had been sent off in the first-half, goals from Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike after the break put the visitors in a commanding lead in north London.
Richarlison pulled one back for the hosts, but they were unable to find an equaliser and finished the match with nine men on the pitch after Cristian Romero was shown a second yellow card.
Pressure appears to be building on Spurs boss Thomas Frank, with his side now sitting 13th in the Premier League table.
Off the pitch, however, it appears that the north London outfit are considering a move to sign a star from a Premier League rival.
As per TEAMtalk, Tottenham have identified Manchester City winger Omar Marmoush as a possible alternative to transfer target Antoine Semenyo.
Bournemouth’s Semenyo has been in fine form this term and his performances have attracted interest from several clubs, including Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool.

While Spurs are also interested in the Ghana international, it is claimed that the Lilywhites are aware that their chances of signing the forward are slim.
Tottenham have therefore began working to identify other alternatives to Semenyo, and City star Marmoush is on their radar.
It is claimed that the London side are monitoring the Egypt international, who has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter for the Citizens since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt in January.
Marmoush, 26, has scored nine goals and registered four assists in 40 matches for City across all competitions, but his playing time so far this season has been limited.
This term the Egyptian has started just two of City’s 16 Premier League games, with his playing time in the competition totalling just over 200 minutes.
