Tottenham has had informal contacts for Omar Marmoush, a 27-year-old forward from Manchester City, and his name remains on the list of options to strengthen the attack this summer. However, Savinho and Cody Gakpo are currently the top two priorities for the London club.

The interest in Marmoush has not yet advanced to negotiation stage. Tottenham has explored his situation and wants to stay informed in case the scenario changes during the final weeks of the transfer window.

Tottenham Continues to Monitor Omar Marmoush

Omar Marmoush remains an appealing option for Tottenham. The Egyptian international can play as a striker, second forward, or from the left, a versatility that fits the search for new offensive resources.

The player joined Manchester City in January 2025 from Eintracht Frankfurt. The deal was sealed for around 75 million euros plus five in variables, and Marmoush signed a four-and-a-half-year contract until June 2029.

This contract gives Manchester City a strong position in any potential negotiation. The forward still has three years left on his contract, and the English club is not obliged to entertain proposals if they believe he should remain in the squad.

Tottenham has not yet turned their monitoring into an offer. Contacts are kept at an informal level while the sports management first focuses on two other operations.

Update on Omar Marmoush's Injury

Savinho and Cody Gakpo are the Priorities

The main priority for Tottenham is Savinho, also a player from Manchester City. The Brazilian is willing to consider a move, and Spurs have been trying for a while to find a way to secure his transfer.

The second name is Cody Gakpo. The Liverpool striker is also on the agenda of the London club, although his departure depends on Liverpool reinforcing their own attacking department first.

This situation places Marmoush as an open option, but still secondary. If either of the first two targets falls through, the Egyptian international could gain importance in the planning.

The interest is not entirely new either. Over the past few weeks, Tottenham had already been linked to the forward, and other Premier League clubs have been attentive to his situation.

Manchester City Holds the Final Say

To progress with Marmoush, Tottenham would first need to ascertain Manchester City's actual willingness to negotiate. The Manchester side made a significant investment just over a year ago, and the player's contract runs until 2029.

It is also necessary to see what role he will play within the squad during the 2026/27 season. Offensive competition and City's moves in this transfer window may alter his situation before the deadline.

For now, Tottenham keeps several options open, and Marmoush remains on the list. The next step will depend on the outcomes regarding Savinho and Gakpo: if those deals do not progress, the London club may shift from informal contacts to considering a real move for the Manchester City player.
