Omar Marmoush has joined Manchester City, but how will he fit into Pep Guardiola's team?
While Omar Marmoush has been a relatively successful goalscorer in the German Bundesliga for a few seasons, he has had to patiently wait for his big break beforeHe arrived in Germany from the Egyptian second division as an 18-year-old, having been spotted by ex-Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs, spending a couple of seasons in the youth side before making his senior debut in May 2020.
"Imagine this, he goes from Cairo to Wolfsburg – that is a completely different world," Littbarski added. Frankfurt can feel grateful for the 37 goals and 20 assists which he delivered in 67 games but, at the same time, the Egyptian ought to be thankful to Frankfurt and particularly manager Dino Toppmoller for bringing out the best in him.
"Some people have compared him to Mohamed Salah, perhaps not as tricky or as explosive but his finishing is incredible."Toppmoller, a former assistant to Julian Nagelsmann at Bayern Munich, took his first managerial position at a big club when he joined Frankfurt in 2023. And he saw how Marmoush had not been utilised to the best of his abilities at other clubs.
Marmoush's confidence has grown to the point that he knows exactly how often he can touch the ball and when to strike before a defender reaches him. From here on, Ekitike will have to shoulder much more of the goalscoring responsibilities, unless Frankfurt find an adequate replacement for Marmoush before the end of the January transfer window.Much more important to City fans is the question of how Marmoush may be used in the coming weeks and months - especially after seeing their side suffer another Champions League collapse at Paris St-Germain on Wednesday.
