About

Omar Marmoush is an Egyptian forward who plays for Tottenham Hotspur on loan from Manchester City and represents the Egypt national team. His pace, direct running and ability to operate across the front line make him a versatile attacking option.

Born in Cairo, Marmoush began his professional career at Wadi Degla before moving to Germany with VfL Wolfsburg in 2017. Loan spells at St Pauli and Stuttgart helped him establish himself before a move to Eintracht Frankfurt significantly accelerated his development.

His outstanding performances at Frankfurt earned him a transfer to Manchester City in January 2025. He joined Tottenham on a season-long loan in August 2026, with an obligation to make the move permanent. An established Egypt international, he scored on his senior international debut and helped his country reach the final of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, played in 2022.

Marmoush is publicly listed as a client of CAA Stellar. His career has progressed from Egyptian domestic football through the Bundesliga to the Premier League.

Playing profile

Marmoush is a mobile forward who can lead the attack, support another striker or start from the left. He is particularly dangerous when he has space to accelerate behind defenders.

His movement is a major strength. He makes diagonal runs across the defensive line, attacks the channels and can pull away from central positions to create space for teammates.

Predominantly right-footed, Marmoush can carry the ball towards goal and shoot after moving inside from the left. He also offers a threat from distance and direct free-kicks.

He can combine quickly with nearby attackers rather than relying exclusively on runs behind. His flexibility allows him to alternate between stretching the defence and receiving between the lines.

Without possession, he brings energy and a willingness to press. His strongest performances tend to come when his team creates opportunities for quick attacking combinations and forward movement.
