  "account": "Tottenham Hotspur have reached a season-long loan agreement with Manchester City for Egypt forward Omar Marmoush, with a buyout clause of £60 million (US$82 million), according to British media on Wednesday. The Egyptian striker's medical at Spurs is the next step towards finalizing the transfer. Marmoush is set to become Tottenham's second signing from City, following Brazil winger Savio who joined on Tuesday for an initial fee of £75 million. The club's total spending this summer now exceeds £300 million, with other acquisitions including Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson, and Marcos Senesi. Despite the squad expansion, Tottenham made a disappointing start to the Premier League season with a 3-0 loss to Brentford last weekend. The £60 million outlay for Marmoush would enable City to recoup the £59 million fee they paid to sign him from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025. Marmoush, 27, netted 16 goals in 62 appearances for City but mainly served as a backup to Erling Haaland during his time at the Etihad. His last game for City was the Community Shield a week before the Premier League opener against Bournemouth, where he was an unused substitute. City have witnessed several departures since Pep Guardiola's exit at the end of last season, with key players like Rodri, Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Tijjani Reijnders, Nathan Ake, and James Trafford leaving the club.",
