Tottenham Hotspur are said to be considering a move for a “really impressive” player at a rival side, with his adaptability and effectiveness across multiple positions catching the club’s attention.

Tottenham Hotspur are said to be keeping a close eye on a potential move for a “really impressive” player from a Premier League rival, attracted by his versatility and ability to fill multiple attacking roles.

Spurs have been linked with Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush ahead of the January transfer window. The Egyptian international has struggled for regular minutes at the Etihad Stadium and is believed to be weighing up his options as consistent game time has been hard to secure.

With Marmoush eager to play more frequently at this point in his career, remaining on the fringes at City may not be ideal. A January exit could therefore be on the cards, with Tottenham viewed as a possible landing spot. The North London side are looking to add a flexible attacker who can operate centrally or out wide — attributes Marmoush possesses, alongside his eye for goal and creative flair. Former Spurs scout Mick Brown has backed up the reports, suggesting the forward is likely to move on.
