What would Marmoush give Spurs?
Omar Marmoush is primarily a number nine, but he has rarely been confined to one role across the front line. Manchester City have followed a similar pattern, using him mainly as a central attacker while also deploying him from the flank and just behind another forward.

Omar Marmoush, primarily a number nine, has demonstrated versatility across different attacking roles throughout his career. At Frankfurt and Manchester City, he has been deployed as a central attacker, a second striker, and from the left flank. This adaptability could be advantageous for Roberto de Zerbi, who often relies on forwards changing positions and exploiting spaces created by opponents.
Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha identifies Marmoush as being most dangerous when he can threaten the space beyond the defense. While he is effective dropping towards the ball, Onuoha believes Marmoush is better when he plays on the shoulder, constantly receiving balls in behind to force the opposition to retreat. Opta's Premier League statistics from the previous season reveal Marmoush averaged 11.46 runs in behind per 90 minutes, comparable to Dominic Solanke's 11.61 and surpassing Richarlison's 10.03. However, Marmoush also contributed significantly more with the ball than his teammates.
