A double departure of attackers from Manchester City looks to be on the cards

A double departure of attackers from Manchester City looks to be on the cards All summer it has seemed that at some point Savinho will move from Manchester City to Tottenham. It has become a protracted transfer saga but it does seem like that is where it will end up. Perhaps, moving to Tottenham will cure the illness that Savinho has suffered from which caused him to be unavailable for the FA Community Shield clash with Arsenal last Sunday. Now, it has been reported that Tottenham are eyeing a deal to sign Omar Marmoush alongside Savinho. In the case of Marmoush, a summer transfer is likely the best move for him as he just doesn’t seem to fit at Manchester City. Tottenham have their eyes on signing both of Omar Marmoush and Savinho. David Ornstein has reported for The Athletic that Tottenham are working on a deal to sign both Omar Marmoush and Savinho from Manchester City. Ornstein stresses that while nothing is finalised in terms of both players moving to Tottenham, talks are advancing. Paul Hirst has revealed for The Times that Manchester City are demanding £85 million to sell Savinho. Furthermore, Hirst reports that City are aiming to sell Marmoush for more than the £59 million they spent to sign the Egyptian international from Eintracht Frankfurt. Putting Savinho to one side, it would seem that a summer move away from Manchester City is the best move for Omar Marmoush. Savinho has always seemed destined to leave Manchester City and move to Tottenham this summer. There is no point rehashing that particular story. However, looking at Omar Marmoush, perhaps a summer move is ideal for him. The Egyptian international hasn’t come on as a City player and the role he fulfils in the City squad isn’t ideal for him. Omar Marmoush is viewed as Erling Haaland’s backup. More often than not, Marmoush only starts for Manchester City if Haaland is unavailable or rested. Marmoush doesn’t play on a wing, and is unlikely to under Enzo Maresca. The Egyptian international is rarely used to play alongside or behind Haaland. That role goes to Rayan Cherki and Phil Foden. Marmoush needs to be playing regularly and it isn’t a surprise to learn that a move Tottenham may be on the cards for him. There is another factor in the equation for Omar Marmoush. Perhaps he just isn’t quite up to the level that Manchester City need. Too often, Marmoush is on the periphery of games when he does start for City. He can drift out of matches and outside of scoring against Newcastle, Marmoush often doesn’t make a telling contribution. Is that due to Marmoush’s level as a player or because of a lack of continuity in his play? That is up for debate. Tottenham are attempting to sign both Savinho and Omar Marmoush from Manchester City. Those are both moves that you can see happening. City will look to replace the pair, but for now, it does seem possible that both players could end up signing for Tottenham.
