Villa Eye Man City’s Omar Marmoush as Spurs Enquire and January Sale Looks Unlikely

City are expected to keep the Egypt forward during his Africa Cup of Nations absence.

Overview

  • TEAMtalk reporting indicates Aston Villa are exploring a move for Marmoush, with Tottenham Hotspur having made enquiries.
  • Manchester City are described as reluctant to approve a mid-season departure, particularly to a domestic rival.
  • Marmoush joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt for £59 million in January 2025 on a contract to 2029 and has had few league and Champions League starts this season.
  • The 26-year-old is currently with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations, which complicates any immediate transfer talks.
  • Former scout Mick Brown told Football Insider he believes Marmoush is unlikely to leave in January and is doubtful about a move to Tottenham.
