Tottenham want to sign ‘this’ Manchester City attacker this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur are rekindling their interest in Omar Marmoush ahead of the summer transfer window, according to RealTolmie, with the Egyptian forward emerging as a target as Roberto De Zerbi looks to address the attacking deficiencies that have plagued the club throughout their near-disastrous season.
Marmoush had a difficult campaign at Manchester City, making just 21 appearances for a total of 699 minutes, contributing three goals and three assists in what was a frustrating and largely peripheral role under Pep Guardiola. The limited involvement stands in stark contrast to the form that made him one of the most talked-about forwards in European football during his extraordinary spell at Eintracht Frankfurt, where he was among the most prolific attackers on the continent before his move to the Etihad.
The disparity between his Frankfurt performances and his City experience is the central question any club pursuing Marmoush must answer honestly. Is the Egyptian forward a player whose qualities were perfectly suited to Frankfurt’s system and Bundesliga football, or is he capable of translating that level to a different Premier League environment with more appropriate support and a manager who builds his system around creative attacking players?
Omar Marmoush: An ideal fit under Roberto De Zerbi?
For De Zerbi, the appeal is understandable. Marmoush is technically gifted, capable of playing across the forward line, and possesses the kind of direct, dynamic quality that the Italian has always sought in his attacking players. A forward who can operate between the lines, receive the ball in tight spaces, and contribute both goals and creativity fits the profile De Zerbi’s system demands, and at a price that City’s financial situation and Marmoush’s limited involvement this season may make more accessible than it would otherwise have been.

Tottenham’s own attacking record this season has been one of the most damning aspects of their near-relegation campaign, with the club relying too heavily on Richarlison’s individual efforts and lacking the creativity and goal threat from multiple positions that survival at Premier League level requires. Marmoush, if he can recapture the form that made him a Bundesliga sensation, represents a genuine solution to that problem.
Whether his City experience has left him hungry to prove himself in a more prominent role, or whether questions remain about his ability to perform consistently at the highest level, will be central to De Zerbi’s assessment as the summer window approaches.
