Tottenham target Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush in attack rebuild

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly plotting a move for Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush as manager Roberto De Zerbi looks to rebuild his attack following a disappointing campaign.

Spurs narrowly avoided relegation last season and suffered from a severe lack of goalscoring firepower.

Richarlison finished as the club’s top scorer with just 11 goals across all competitions.

The North London side have already spent heavily to overhaul their midfield options.

Sandro Tonali arrived in a £100m deal from Newcastle United, while Mateus Fernandes was signed for £85m from West Ham.

Struggles at the Etihad

Attention has now shifted towards bolstering the frontline with the 27-year-old emerging as a primary option.

The versatile attacker has struggled for regular playing time since his £60m January switch to the Premier League champions.

He managed just three goals and three assists while starting only eight league fixtures during the previous campaign.

This stands in stark contrast to a prolific spell at Eintracht Frankfurt where he registered 37 goals in 67 appearances.

Versatility key for De Zerbi

A summer departure remains a strong possibility, though the player intends to hold talks with new City manager Enzo Maresca first.

Newcastle United are also believed to be monitoring the situation closely.

The former Bundesliga star is highly valued for his ability to operate as a central striker, a supporting forward, or out wide.

Such tactical flexibility would be highly beneficial for De Zerbi’s system.

The Italian coach has been forced to navigate early-season injury setbacks to key attackers Dejan Kulusevski and Mohammed Kudus.

Alternative targets considered

Manchester City winger Savinho has also been identified as a significant transfer priority for the Lilywhites.

Bournemouth’s rising talent Junior Kroupi is another name on the recruitment shortlist.

However, securing the seasoned City outcast is viewed as a more cost-effective solution to solve Tottenham’s offensive issues.
