Tottenham Hotspur completed the signing of Omar Marmoush from Manchester City on a season-long loan lasting until the end of the 2026-27 season, with an obligation to make the deal permanent next summer [1, 2, 3]. Reports indicate the obligation to buy is around £50 million guaranteed, with an additional £10 million in add-ons according to British media [2, 3].
Marmoush, 27, joined Manchester City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 for approximately £59 million [1]. He has scored 16 goals in 62 appearances for City across all competitions. Last season, he netted 3 goals in 21 Premier League games, down from 7 goals in his debut half-season, largely appearing as a substitute behind Erling Haaland [1, 2, 3].
Tottenham have spent over £312 million in the 2026 summer transfer window on several players, including Marmoush, Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Martin Dubravka, and Brazilian winger Savio [1, 2, 3].
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi expressed enthusiasm about Marmoush joining, stating, “Omar is exactly the kind of player we want at this club - ambitious, hungry and determined to make a difference. He has incredible attacking quality but what I also love is his desire to improve and to win. He brings pace, intelligence and a real threat in front of goal, and I believe he can take our attacking play to another level.” [1]
Marmoush said Tottenham is “one of the biggest clubs in England, if not the world,” and called the project very attractive. He added, “I’ve spoken with the head coach (Roberto De Zerbi), I loved what he had to say and I’m sure our passion for the game will go very well together.” He described his arrival as “amazing” and said, “I’m so excited to get started with the team and I can’t wait to meet the fans.” [1, 2, 3]
Internationally, Marmoush represented Egypt in the 2026 World Cup, playing five games as Egypt reached the last 16, but did not score [2, 3].
Tottenham began their 2026-27 Premier League campaign with a 3-0 loss to Brentford yesterday but are set to host Newcastle United in their next match [2, 3].
