Tottenham sign Man City’s Egypt forward Omar Marmoush on season-long loan

What the report says

Tottenham Hotspur have signed Egypt forward Omar Marmoush from Manchester City on a season-long loan, with an obligation to complete the transfer permanently after the season. According to the report published by Al Jazeera, British media valued the future permanent move at a guaranteed 50 million pounds ($68 million), plus possible add-ons. The move was announced by Tottenham on Thursday, August 27, 2026.

Marmoush, 27, said he was excited to begin with Tottenham and described the club and its project as attractive. Al Jazeera reported that he spoke positively about working with head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who has been rebuilding the squad since arriving in March. The article says De Zerbi has been looking to strengthen the attack after Tottenham brought in several other players in a major summer overhaul.

The forward had a mixed spell at Manchester City. He impressed after arriving in the 2024-25 season, but opportunities became limited last term behind established players, including Erling Haaland. He scored three Premier League goals in 21 appearances in his most recent league campaign, compared with seven in his first half-season at the Etihad.

The transfer matters because Tottenham have been seeking more attacking depth after two difficult Premier League seasons, and Marmoush is expected to get more minutes in north London. The report also notes that he played for Egypt at the 2026 World Cup, where the team reached the last 16.
