Tottenham receive big Omar Marmoush update ahead of potential £35m cash injection
Tottenham Hotspur have been told whether they stand a chance of landing Manchester City star Omar Marmoush in the January transfer window.
The Egyptian international, who arrived in a £59m deal from Eintracht Frankfurt 12 months ago, has found game time hard to come by this term.
He has played just 389 minutes of football across all competitions this season, and it has been reported that Tottenham are sensing an opportunity to swoop for Marmoush in January.
In fact, some sources have even claimed that Man City are likely to sell one of their attackers if they land Antoine Semenyo in January, but a new update has rubbished that claim.
Tottenham could sell one of their own attackers, Brennan Johnson, for £35m in January as Crystal Palace lead the race for the Europa League hero.
Tottenham will have to wait until next summer to land Omar Marmoush
A couple of days ago, The Athletic’s David Ornstein revealed that Man City are not likely to sell Marmoush mid-season, and that has now been backed up by another source.
A new report in The Daily Briefing has now confirmed that City do intend to trigger Semenyo’s £65m release clause in the opening days of the January window.
The outlet says that the Ghanaian’s arrival could mean that one player leaves City and backs up the claim about Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Marmoush.
However, the report adds that despite his struggles for game time this season, City will not listen to offers for the 26-year-old.
It is suggested that the forward, who is currently away at the AFCON, is only likely to be sold at the end of the season.
Man City are also not expected to sell Savinho
Some reports have suggested that Spurs could reignite their interest in Savinho, who has also found starts hard to come by this season.
However, this new update from The Daily Briefing states that the Brazilian is not the attacker that Guardiola’s men are likely to let go.
Instead, it is suggested that Oscar Bobb is likely to be the one sacrificed by City, with the 22-year-old attracting interest from Fulham, Crystal Palace, Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla.
