Marmoush set for Tottenham medical after City deal agreed
The Egypt international is set to complete a £60 million move after Tottenham signed Brazil winger Sávio in an initial £75 million deal.
On Wednesday, Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush is set to undergo a medical with Tottenham after the clubs agreed to a season-long loan deal with a £60m obligation to buy the 27-year-old permanently next year.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham side has aggressively overhauled the squad this summer, with the Marmoush deal pushing total expenditure to £382m as the club seeks to recover from consecutive 17th-placed Premier League finishes.
Manchester City will recover the £59m fee paid to Eintracht Frankfurt for Marmoush in January 2025; the forward struggled for consistent minutes, making only eight Premier League starts while serving as understudy to Erling Haaland.
Marmoush is expected to sign a four-year contract with an option for an additional 12 months, joining Tottenham confident of displacing Richarlison and Dominic Solanke as De Zerbi's first-choice striker.
Tottenham faces pressure after suffering a 3-0 defeat at Brentford on Saturday, with the team looking to improve against Newcastle this Saturday evening as their significant summer investment takes shape.
