In a recent interview, former scout Mick Brown claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a move for Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush. Brown said,
“Tottenham have been looking at Marmoush.
“It’s a move that would definitely suit them, because he can play up front and out wide, and they’re both positions they’ve been aiming to strengthen in.
“It might make sense for him too, because he’s been out of the side at Man City and at this stage he will be wanting to play every minute possible.
“I thought he was really impressive when he came in at Man City, but now they’ve added players like Cherki, and Foden and Doku are hitting top form.
“Guardiola clearly doesn’t see him as part of that starting XI any more, so he might be thinking it’s time for him to move on if an offer comes in.”
Marmoush’s Important Role At Man City This Season
Marmoush has served as a good rotational piece in Pep Guardiola’s squad this season. The Cairo-born talent has played in 15 matches for Man City in this campaign so far, scoring one goal and grabbing one assist in various competitions.
The 26-year-old has proven his worth in the final third by averaging 3.84 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He has kept 33.3% of his shots on target. Marmoush has even been accurate when distributing the ball in the opponent’s half after making 83.9% of his attempted passes in the English first division (stats via fbref.com).
Is Marmoush A Good Fit For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank?
Marmoush excels at finding some space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the vision to engineer a few clear-cut chances in the final third and is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet.
The Egypt international can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top. He is primarily a centre-forward but can also fill in as a left-sided wide player if told to do so by his manager.
We can expect Marmoush to bring more firepower to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank’s frontline. He is good enough to compete for regular first-team football at the North London club. At 26, Marmoush is about to enter his prime and would be a good fit for Spurs’ needs in the long run.
