Tottenham Reportedly Agree Personal Terms With Omar Marmoush

Overview

• Tottenham and Manchester City were in advanced talks on Friday, August 21, 2026, and Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg said on X that Marmoush has reached personal terms with Spurs while the clubs continue to negotiate the transfer fee.
• No inter-club deal is finalised and Manchester City are said to be reluctant to sell until they secure replacements, which could slow or reshape any agreement.
• Marmoush’s playing time at Manchester City declined across 2025–26, with only eight Premier League starts and roughly 700 minutes, making a move attractive for the player’s prospects of regular football.
• Opta per-90 data reported in coverage shows Marmoush outperformed Tottenham forwards in most attacking metrics, and analysts argue his runs in behind and link-up play suit Roberto De Zerbi’s system.
• Marmoush rose to prominence with a prolific spell at Eintracht Frankfurt and joined City for a reported £59m in January 2025, so Tottenham’s heavy summer spending and registration timing will shape whether the transfer completes and how it affects other targets.
