Omar Marmoush set for Tottenham medical after Manchester City agreement
Tottenham are closing in on Omar Marmoush after agreeing a loan deal with Manchester City that could become a permanent £50 million transfer.
Omar Marmoush is on the verge of leaving Manchester City for Tottenham Hotspur after the two Premier League clubs reached an agreement over a deal for the Egypt international, with the forward expected to undergo his medical on Monday.
The move has accelerated rapidly in recent days as Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi looks to add more attacking quality to his squad following a difficult opening-day defeat at Brentford.
Reports indicate that Marmoush will initially join Spurs on loan, with a conditional obligation to buy worth £50 million becoming permanent if specified requirements are met.
The Egyptian has already agreed terms with Tottenham and is now expected to complete the formalities of the transfer, bringing an end to his relatively short spell at the Etihad.
Marmoush arrived at City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 for a reported £59 million and made an immediate impression, including a hat-trick against Newcastle United during his first season.
However, his opportunities became more limited last campaign as competition for attacking positions increased, while the arrival of Rayan Cherki and the emergence of Antoine Semenyo have further complicated his prospects under new manager Enzo Maresca.
The 27-year-old was an unused substitute during City’s 2-1 comeback victory over Bournemouth on Sunday, further underlining the uncertainty surrounding his position in the squad.
Tottenham’s interest in Marmoush is part of an aggressive recruitment drive, with Spurs also completing a major move for City’s Brazilian winger Savinho.
The potential departure would allow Marmoush to seek regular first-team football while giving Tottenham another versatile forward capable of operating across the attacking line as they attempt to recover from their disappointing start to the new Premier League campaign.
