Manchester City are reportedly set to sign 25-year-old Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush from Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt this month.
According to an update by reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Omar Marmoush will undergo his Manchester City medical on Monday. The Premier League champions have agreed on a €80 million package to sign him.
The player has 34 goal contributions this season, and he has been one of the best attacking players in the world over the last 12 months. He should prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Manchester City. The Premier League champions have not been at their best this season, and they will be desperate to bounce back.
Missing out on UEFA Champions League would be a devastating blow for a club of their stature, and it remains to be seen whether they can finish in the top four. Signing quality players like Marmoush will certainly help them improve during the second half of the season.
It will be interesting to see how Pep Guardiola accommodates the Egyptian along with Erling Haaland in the starting lineup. Omar Marmoush will not want to sit on the bench at Manchester City, and they will have to offer him regular game time. It remains to be seen whether Manchester City decide to employ a tactical shift and switch to a two-striker formation.
Marmoush will look to make his mark in England now
Meanwhile, Omar Marmoush has shown his quality in the Bundesliga, and he will be desperate to make his mark in the Premier League now. Manchester City are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have a proven track record of pushing for trophies regularly. The striker will be hoping to win major trophies with them in the coming seasons.
The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be quite exciting for him, and it remains to be seen whether he can make an instant impact. The Eintracht Frankfurt star has the physicality and technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for Manchester City.
The Premier League champions will look to improve the other areas of their squad this month and it remains to be seen whether they can bring in the right reinforcements before the window closes.
