Headline: Tottenham Targets Savinho and Omar Marmoush in Transfer Move
Tottenham Hotspur appears close to finalizing a deal to acquire Savinho from Manchester City, amid ongoing speculation throughout the summer about his transfer. The winger’s potential move to Tottenham could also help address fitness issues that have limited his availability, such as missing the FA Community Shield match against Arsenal last Sunday. According to reports, Tottenham is also interested in signing Omar Marmoush alongside Savinho, as the Egyptian forward does not appear to fit into Manchester City’s plans.
In a report by David Ornstein for The Athletic, it was revealed that negotiations are underway for the potential transfer of both players. While there is no official confirmation yet, Ornstein noted that discussions are progressing positively.
Adding to this, Paul Hirst from The Times reported that Manchester City is requesting £85 million for Savinho. Additionally, City is looking to sell Marmoush for more than the £59 million they invested in the player when they signed him from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Focusing on Marmoush, a summer transfer seems to be the right choice. The Egyptian international has struggled to establish himself within the Manchester City squad, often serving as a backup to Erling Haaland. His appearances for City are typically limited to games when Haaland is unavailable or rested, which doesn’t align with his playing style or needs.
Currently viewed as a substitute, Marmoush rarely plays on a wing, and under manager Enzo Maresca, his role restricts him further. Consequently, he often finds himself sidelined during key matches. With the limited opportunities at City, a transfer to Tottenham could provide the regular playing time he requires.
There is some debate regarding Marmoush’s capability at the level expected by Manchester City. When he does secure a starting position, he frequently remains uninvolved in the flow of the match, only occasionally making significant contributions, such as his goal against Newcastle.
Tottenham’s bid to sign both Savinho and Omar Marmoush reflects their intent to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. As negotiations continue, it remains a strong possibility that both players will make the switch to North London.
All summer it has seemed that at some point Savinho will move from Manchester City to Tottenham. It has become a protracted transfer saga but it does seem like that is where it will end up. Perhaps, moving to Tottenham will cure the illness that Savinho has suffered from which caused him to be unavailable for the FA Community Shield clash with Arsenal last Sunday. Now, it has been reported that Tottenham are eyeing a deal to sign Omar Marmoush alongside Savinho. In the case of Marmoush, a summer transfer is likely the best move for him as he just doesn’t seem to fit at Manchester City.
Tottenham have their eyes on signing both of Omar Marmoush and Savinho.
David Ornstein has reported for The Athletic that Tottenham are working on a deal to sign both Omar Marmoush and Savinho from Manchester City. Ornstein stresses that while nothing is finalised in terms of both players moving to Tottenham, talks are advancing.

Paul Hirst has revealed for The Times that Manchester City are demanding £85 million to sell Savinho. Furthermore, Hirst reports that City are aiming to sell Marmoush for more than the £59 million they spent to sign the Egyptian international from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Putting Savinho to one side, it would seem that a summer move away from Manchester City is the best move for Omar Marmoush.
Savinho has always seemed destined to leave Manchester City and move to Tottenham this summer. There is no point rehashing that particular story. However, looking at Omar Marmoush, perhaps a summer move is ideal for him. The Egyptian international hasn’t come on as a City player and the role he fulfils in the City squad isn’t ideal for him.
Omar Marmoush is viewed as Erling Haaland’s backup. More often than not, Marmoush only starts for Manchester City if Haaland is unavailable or rested. Marmoush doesn’t play on a wing, and is unlikely to under Enzo Maresca. The Egyptian international is rarely used to play alongside or behind Haaland. That role goes to Rayan Cherki and Phil Foden. Marmoush needs to be playing regularly and it isn’t a surprise to learn that a move Tottenham may be on the cards for him.

There is another factor in the equation for Omar Marmoush. Perhaps he just isn’t quite up to the level that Manchester City need. Too often, Marmoush is on the periphery of games when he does start for City. He can drift out of matches and outside of scoring against Newcastle, Marmoush often doesn’t make a telling contribution. Is that due to Marmoush’s level as a player or because of a lack of continuity in his play? That is up for debate.
Tottenham are attempting to sign both Savinho and Omar Marmoush from Manchester City. Those are both moves that you can see happening. City will look to replace the pair, but for now, it does seem possible that both players could end up signing for Tottenham.
