BBC reports that Tottenham Hotspur has reached an agreement with Manchester City to loan Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush, with a mandatory buyout clause of £60 million to make the transfer permanent next summer. The 27-year-old, who joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt for £59 million last January, has been a backup to Erling Haaland and made limited appearances. Marmoush will undergo a medical in the coming days. Tottenham has already spent over £312 million this summer, signing players including Savinho, Matheus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali, and Jan-Paul van Hecke. The article highlights Marmoush's versatility as a forward, fitting into manager Roberto De Zerbi's tactical system that relies on position-swapping and attacking space. His Premier League stats show 3 goals and 3 assists with an xG of 3.53, indicating finishing is not the issue but rather limited playing time behind Haaland.
