Spurs have signed Marmoush on loan from City with a £50million obligation to buy
Once made permanent next summer, Spurs will pay an initial £50m plus up to £10m in add-ons.
This recoups the £59m City paid Eintracht Frankfurt for him in January 2025.
Rumours had circulated that the fee agreed was at this price to navigate around a sell on clause to Frankfurt.
However, there is understood to have been no sell on clause between the two clubs.
Marmoush's arrival takes the club's summer spending past the £350million barrier.
He also becomes their second new arrival from City following the £85million signing of Savio.
Spurs previously smashed their transfer record twice on Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, as well as signing Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton.

Having joined City in January 2025, Marmoush scored 10 goals and added five assists in 37 Premier League appearances for the club.
He also won both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup under Pep Guardiola last season.
Former Tottenham striker Mido, who urged his old club to sign his Egyptian compatriot two years ago, joked on talkSPORT Breakfast with Ally McCoist and Gabby Agbonlahor: "Tottenham are always late, aren't they? They are two years late.

"I think they've got a great player in Omar Marmoush. Top finisher. He can score goals.
"He works really hard for the team, and [he is] a top professional.
"I gave him his debut when he was only 16 back here in Egypt, when I was managing Wadi Degla. And I always believed in him.
"I always thought that he's going to be a top player, and I really think that Tottenham need him. They need this quality of player.
"He will give De Zerbi a different option up front, because Omar can play as a striker, and he can play as a left winger as well.
"He's hungry; I think he needs Tottenham as well. He's been unlucky with the minutes he's been having at Manchester City.
"I totally think that it was the wrong move for him to go to City, because he needs to be playing.
"But now he's at the best phase of his career. 27 years old. He's in his best years.
"I'm confident, and I'm sure he will hit the ground running, and he will start scoring for Tottenham. And the Tottenham fans will love him."
Where is Marmoush's best position?
Mido added to talkSPORT: "He's a left winger. He's always been a left winger. In Germany, when he played up front, he scored goals.

"But I really think his best position in the Premier League is as a left winger, because he's very good at the link-up play.
"Joining in and having his shots in; Coming in to the far post as a second striker. Omar is not the best to play with his back to the goal.
"He needs to be in this pocket, getting the ball and running into the space. And having his chance to have his shots in. But he can do a job as a striker.
"A striker is all about confidence. If he gets the confidence that we all need sometimes in our careers.
"And if he gets the chance to score goals, he will do the job for Tottenham. But what I can assure the Tottenham fans is that they've got someone in Omar Marmoush that is a top professional and a great finisher.
"Also, I think he will add strength from a mentality to the squad.

"I think Tottenham need those kinds of players who are champions, who are willing to win, who are willing to die for the team, and I think Omar is one of those boys."
Despite believing Marmoush's best position in the Premier League is as a left winger, Mido admitted: "Tottenham now need him more as a striker.
"I don't think Tottenham got the striker that can help the team to be in the position that De Zerbi wants and everyone wants at the football club.
"I always believe that Tottenham should always fight for a top six, and anything worse than that is not the value of Tottenham.
"He can play on the left side; he can play as a striker, but I think De Zerbi will use him as a striker.
"Now, in the squad that we can see at Tottenham, he will be the best striker at Tottenham or the best option for De Zerbi."
