Tottenham now considering impressive move for Marmoush as Semenyo alternative
Tottenham Hotspur are currently eyeing a striking move for an “unbelievable” Premier League forward, as a backup plan to AFC Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo.
Spurs targeting new forward as Semenyo alternative
Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Spurs are very eager to acquire Semenyo, who has netted eight league goals this season, with the transfer guru stating: “Tottenham have real and intense interest and are pursuing this aggressively. However, the ultimate choice will rely on the player.” Despite this, securing a deal for the Ghanaian may prove challenging due to interest from several elite clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal, who have also been mentioned as possible contenders. So strong is their interest, Tottenham have already engaged in discussions to sign the forward, but it is uncertain whether they can entice him to north London, particularly as they are not experiencing their best season.
Following the 2-1 defeat against Liverpool on Saturday, the north London side currently occupies the 13th position in the Premier League table, suggesting that Tottenham Hotspur Stadium might not be the most appealing destination. Consequently, alternatives to the Bournemouth player are now being sought, with a report from TEAMtalk highlighting that they are considering a notable move for Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush, who joined the Etihad Stadium for £59m last January. Marmoush’s playing time has been quite restricted this season, implying he might be receptive to a transfer, though Pep Guardiola is reluctant to permit a departure, as he values squad depth amid a packed fixture schedule. With a move for Semenyo to Spurs seen as ‘increasingly unlikely’ due to competing interest, Thomas Frank has begun to search the market for additional forwards, and there are signals that the City star could be a valuable addition to the Dane’s lineup…

“Unbelievable” Marmoush could thrive at Tottenham
The 26-year-old has struggled to establish himself in Guardiola’s plans, making it sensible to explore a move this January, and his goal and assist statistics for Eintracht Frankfurt indicate he could excel at Tottenham.

The former Frankfurt player also showcased some standout performances in his initial season with City, recording seven goals and two assists across 16 Premier League games.
One of those goals was particularly notable, as the Egyptian earned the Goal of the Season award due to a stunning strike against AFC Bournemouth.
Described as “unbelievable” by Guardiola, Marmoush could represent a remarkable addition for Tottenham, and if they cannot secure Semenyo, they should certainly consider a move for the Manchester City talent.
