TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR CONTINUED their summer binge when they signed Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush on loan from Manchester City.
The 27-year-old joined on a season-long loan, but Tottenham said that “the deal includes an obligation to make the move permanent next summer”.
That will cost £60 million (€70 million), British media reported.
Marmoush became Tottenham’s second signing from City in a matter of days, after Brazil winger Savio joined on Tuesday for a reported initial fee of £75 million (€87.47 million) — and scored on his debut on Wednesday.
After the Savio deal, Tottenham’s overall outlay in the summer transfer window had passed £300 million (€349.9 million).
Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke all joined earlier for hefty fees and defenders Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi came in on free transfers.

“Omar is exactly the kind of player we want at this club – ambitious, hungry and determined to make a difference,” said Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi, on the club website.
“He brings pace, intelligence and a real threat in front of goal.”
Marmoush, who is 27, joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 but, with Erling Haaland established at centre forward, struggled for playing time in his preferred position. He scored 16 goals in 62 appearances for City.
He has played 55 times for Egypt, scoring 11 times and appeared in all five matches as his country reached the round of 16 at this summer’s World Cup.
“It feels amazing to be here,” Marmoush told Tottenham’s website.
“Tottenham Hotspur is one of the biggest clubs in England, if not the world, and the project was very attractive to me.”

Elsewhere, Jenni Hermoso, the victim of the Luis Rubiales “forced kiss” controversy after Spain won the 2023 Women’s World Cup, rejoined Atlético Madrid on Thursday.
Hermoso, 36, left Mexican side Tigres Femenil earlier in August.
“I have been lucky enough to choose where I want to be, and today I feel privileged to say that I am in the place I want to be,” said the forward, ahead of her third spell with the Rojiblancos.
Hermoso began her career with Atlético and helped them win the Spanish league in 2019, the last time any side other than Barcelona lifted the trophy.
She played for Barcelona over two spells, as well as Paris Saint-Germain and Rayo Vallecano among other clubs.
