Tottenham are hoping to bolster their attack before the transfer window shuts shop in the coming weeks.
The Lewis family deserve credit for backing Roberto de Zerbi in the transfer market this summer. They have invested heavily in new signings in an attempt to help Tottenham compete at the top end of the Premier League table. The Lilywhites cannot afford another season in the bottom half as they continue to usher in a new era under De Zerbi. As a result, the North Londoners have significantly strengthened their squad in recent weeks.
There were several glaring issues within the squad that needed to be addressed by Spurs this summer, and it is fair to say that the club has done exactly that by securing a number of top-quality signings in a short space of time. The Lilywhites have brought in the likes of Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, and Jan Paul van Hecke to strengthen a leaky defence at N17. Meanwhile, the North Londoners have also signed Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes as part of a midfield revamp.
The focus should now shift towards the attacking department. Spurs are clearly lacking a versatile attacker who can operate either as a lone striker or on the left wing under Roberto de Zerbi. It is important that the club signs someone capable of competing with Dominic Solanke for a place in the starting eleven while also making an immediate impact at N17.
Tottenham targeting a move for Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush
It comes as no surprise that Tottenham are looking to bring in a new attacker in the coming weeks. With Richarlison potentially heading for the exit door at N17 and Mathys Tel being linked with a loan move away from the club, it is important that the Lilywhites sign a player capable of replacing the duo while slotting seamlessly into the starting eleven under Roberto de Zerbi’s guidance.
Recent reports have linked Spurs with Manchester City star Omar Marmoush, who was under-used by Pep Guardiola. The Egypt international has not enjoyed regular game time and is looking to explore new opportunities before the transfer window shuts. He does not want to spend the season as Erling Haaland’s understudy. As a result, the prolific forward has also held crunch talks with Enzo Maresca over his future at the Etihad Stadium.
Prepare yourselves. Roberto De Zerbi told me a Tottenham transfer bomba is on its way! And it's not Savinho…yet. https://t.co/KHg6dN3OL1

The Lilywhites have held a long-term interest in the 27-year-old as they look to strengthen their attack in the coming weeks. Now, there has been a fresh update in the transfer saga involving Marmoush and Spurs. As per Football London, Roberto de Zerbi is a “big admirer” of the Egypt international and is keen to bring him to N17 on a long-term deal. The Italian tactician wants to replace Richarlison this summer and believes Omar Marmoush is the ideal candidate to lead the line for the North Londoners.
It is fair to say that Omar Marmoush has struggled to make a consistent impact at the Etihad Stadium since joining Manchester City in January 2025. The prolific forward started just eight Premier League matches last season. This has little to do with his quality and more to do with the fact that he is competing with Erling Haaland for a place in the starting eleven. Therefore, it makes perfect sense for the 27-year-old to seek a fresh challenge as he looks to rejuvenate his career and get back on track.
Signing a player of Marmoush’s quality should be a no-brainer for Spurs. He is clinical in front of goal, keeps defenders on their toes, and offers the versatility to play anywhere across the frontline. On top of that, the Egypt international brings a wealth of experience and can provide genuine competition for Dominic Solanke in the starting eleven. At 27, the prolific forward is entering the prime years of his career and would provide an instant boost to Tottenham’s attack if he joins the club on a long-term deal.
