\u2014 Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 27, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Marmoush said: \u201cIt feels amazing to be here. I\u2019m so excited to get started with the team and I can\u2019t wait to meet the fans.<\/p>\n \u201cTottenham Hotspur is one of the biggest clubs in England, if not the world, and the project was very attractive to me.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve spoken with the head coach, I loved what he had to say and I\u2019m sure our passion for the game will go very well together.\u201d<\/p>\n Marmoush is another long-standing target for Spurs after they followed the Egyptian international during Ange Postecoglou\u2019s tenure, but he elected to sign for City in 2025 after a prolific spell at Eintracht Frankfurt.<\/p>\n Loan spells with Stuttgart and St Pauli were followed by a breakout campaign at Wolfsburg alongside new Tottenham team-mate Micky van de Ven before he signed for Frankfurt.<\/p>\n The versatile forward produced an impressive 37 goals and 20 assists during a productive 18-month spell at Frankfurt, which led to a move to City in a \u00a359m deal.<\/p>\n Even though Marmoush scored a hat-trick against Newcastle on his fifth appearance for Man City, he struggled for regular minutes as Erling Haaland\u2019s deputy and has been allowed to leave after he scored 16 times across 62 appearances.<\/p>\n De Zerbi said: \u201cOmar is exactly the kind of player we want at this club \u2013 ambitious, hungry and determined to make a difference.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has incredible attacking quality but what I also love is his desire to improve and to win.<\/p>\n \u201cHe brings pace, intelligence and a real threat in front of goal, and I believe he can take our attacking play to another level.\u201d<\/p>\n It is understood City have already fulfilled their payment obligations to Frankfurt and no sell-on clause was included in the agreement when City signed the 27-year-old.<\/p>\n North London will now be home for Marmoush, which will delight his fellow Egyptian and ex-Spurs forward Mido, who recommended his old club sign countryman Marmoush two years ago on X.<\/p>\n Years ago I advised #Spurs<\/a> to sign #salah<\/a> when he was still at #Basil<\/a> they never listened to me..now I\u2019m telling you plz go for Marmoush he will be great signing will fit in perfectly in Angie\u2019s system as a left or right winger..hard worker top professional and can score\u2026<\/p>\n![\"Manchester](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2.83241427.jpg\")
