Arsenal leading chase to sign brilliant 18-goal star this January

There has been some reports in the media which have claimed that ARSENAL lead LIVERPOOL in the race to sign Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Omar Marmoush this January transfer window.

The forward has delivered 18 goals across all competitions, continuing from his previous season’s performance of 17 goals and six assists in 41 games and is drawing all sorts of attention from some of the biggest teams in the Premier League, including the likes of Liverpool- who are always looking to add to their squad.

The Reds have one of the biggest squads in Europe – but with a number of players expected to leave in the coming windows – there will be some space for the likes of Marmoosh to come in and try to make an impact in that Arne Slots side.

According to German outlet SportBILD, LIVERPOOL have been in touch with Marmoush’s advisors for a potential transfer and have “officially registered their interest” in the Egyptian.

However – Reports on the Daily Mirror website have claimed that it is ARSENAL that are leading the chase to sign the attacker this month, as they seek to add some cover for the injured Bukayo Saka.

Marmoush’s contract with Eintracht, which runs until 2027, does not include a release clause, giving the German club the upper hand in negotiations. This absence of a buyout clause suggests both clubs may have to pay as much as £60m for Marmoush’s transfer.

What has been said by Frankfurt.

Eintracht Frankfurt director of football Markus Krosche recently opened the door to the potential sale of Omar Marmoush – recently Speaking to German media, Krosche said: “It is true that Omar made a very clear commitment to us in the summer. He has developed well and still has a lot of potential to develop further.

“For us, we don’t want to lose so many key players. I have to honestly say that no Eintracht player is unsellable but we want to keep the team together. I talk about Marmoush after every game. But that’s a good thing. Omar gives our game an incredible amount.”
