Tottenham Hotspur have verbally agreed a deal to sign Omar Marmoush from Manchester City, according to Fabrizio Romano.

What happened?

The 27-year-old Egypt international will reportedly have a Tottenham medical on Monday after agreeing to the move to north London a few days ago.

Why it matters for Tottenham Hotspur

This transfer is significant for Tottenham Hotspur, who are looking to strengthen their squad after finishing 17th in the Premier League last season, with 41 points from 38 games, and a recent form of WLDWW.

What comes next?

Marmoush was an unused substitute in Manchester City’s 2-1 home win over Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday. Tottenham Hotspur have agreed an initial loan for the Egypt international, with a £50m buy clause that becomes mandatory under certain conditions. With 48 goals scored and 57 conceded, resulting in a -9 goal difference, Tottenham Hotspur are 44 points behind leaders Arsenal. The team is looking to improve their standing with this new signing.
