Having sold Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer, the Lilywhites haven’t signed a new striker to replace the Englishman yet. Ange Postecoglou has decided to continue with Richarlison in the centre-forward position and the Brazilian has done extremely well so far this term.
However, despite Richarlison’s recent impressive performances, the North London club seemingly want to sign a a fresh striker to bolster their offensive unit.
Tottenham has been linked to both Ivan Toney and Santiago Giménez as potential targets, but Marmoush is now starting to emerge as a viable alternative. Sport Bild reports that Spurs have been closely monitoring the Egyptian’s progress lately in anticipation of a possible summer raid.
According to the source, Frankfurt’s star player, who aspires to play in the Premier League, could seek a sum of approximately £30 million in order to depart. Spurs may be able to sign him, but they will need to invest a substantial sum of money to entice him to the recently restored White Hart Lane.
Marmoush to Tottenham
However, Bild states that Newcastle United are also keen on acquiring his service so the North London club will have to overcome stiff competition from the Magpies in getting any potential deal done for him.
After joining Frankfurt last summer, the 25-year-old has enjoyed a stellar campaign so far this term, scoring 15 goals and registering five assists in 28 appearances in all competitions.
Spurs have apparently chosen to express interest in signing the African to bolster their assault after being impressed by his recent exploits.
Marmoush has recently shown his abilities in the Bundesliga, and if he were to sign with the team this summer, the North Londoners would be hoping he could duplicate that kind of play in the Premier League.
It would be intriguing to see, though, if Tottenham decides to make a serious move to recruit the Frankfurt player before the upcoming campaign.
