Tottenham Hotspur have been given a boost, with one of their transfer targets keen to remain in the Premier League rather than move abroad this month.
It has been a troubling season for Spurs, one in which Thomas Frank has been under immense pressure for his side’s consistently poor performances. Richarlison, who is currently injured, is the club’s top scorer with eight goals. Dominic Solanke is the club’s only other senior, out-and-out number nine and the England international has just recently started to come back from a long spell on the sidelines following ankle surgery.
Elsewhere on the pitch, Tottenham’s goals have come predominantly from defensive players, with centre-back partners Micky Van De Ven and Cristian Romero netting seven and six respectively across all competitions. The Lilywhites have won just two of their previous 14 Premier League fixtures and unsurprisingly, have looked to the market for reinforcements.
Midfielder Conor Gallagher was signed earlier this month from Atletico Madrid, as was young left-back Souza, bought from Santos. It appears that Tottenham remain focused on bolstering their attack to some degree ahead of the transfer deadline on the 2nd February.
Marmoush wants to remain in England with Spurs keen
According to reports in Turkey, as per The Express, Omar Marmoush is being pursued by Super Lig giants Fenerbahce. The Egypt international, however, would prefer to remain in the Premier League, with Tottenham holding a “keen” interest in the forward who joined City in the 2025 winter transfer window.
Following his team’s 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, in which Marmoush opened the scoring, Pep Guardiola was full of praise for his forward, saying, as per the BBC: “Last season when he arrived he was unbelievable for two or three months. Without him it would have been impossible to achieve qualification for the Champions League or reach the FA Cup final.
“He is a special player, not old, not young, but has margin to improve and a sense of goal [with] dynamic energy in his runs, which is really good. I see him more as a striker than a proper winger but he is a guy for transition actions. I am so happy for him.”
Despite Guardiola’s glowing words, the game against Wolves was just the third time this season that Marmoush has started a Premier League game. Rumours about Marmoush’s future have circulated this season, particularly after his side’s acquisition of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, who is comfortable in any position across the forward line.
Better signing than Gallagher: Spurs hold talks to sign PL “superstar”
Tottenham plan on making another exciting signing before the January transfer window closes in a few weeks.
Spurs have held an interest in Marmoush for some time and remain keen on the forward, their attack in desperate need of some dynamism. Reportedly, Marmoush would want a loan move, rather than a permanent transfer, and specifically within the Premier League, which could allow Spurs to boost their ranks at minimal cost.
Tottenham may find their path to Marmoush uncontested as another interested party, Aston Villa, remain keen on alternative options. As he has shown with City, the former Eintracht Frankfurt attacker is more than capable of performing in the Premier League. Whether Spurs are able to agree a deal for him before the window closes, however, remains to be seen.
