TOTTENHAM HAVE AGREED a season-long loan deal with Manchester City for forward Omar Marmoush with an obligation to buy for £60 million (€70 million) next year.
It’s understood the Egypt international is now set to undergo a medical with the London club and complete the formalities of the move.
It will be Spurs’ second capture from City in a matter of days after signing Brazil winger Savinho in a deal worth an initial £75m (€87.67m).
It also continues a busy summer of recruitment after the captures of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi.
The commitment to spend £60m (€70m) on Marmoush will see City recover the £59m (€69m) fee they paid to buy the player from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025.

The 27-year-old scored 16 goals in 62 games for City but mainly had to settle for an understudy role to Erling Haaland.
He was an unused substitute in Sunday’s Premier League opener against Bournemouth, with his last outing for the club having come in the Community Shield a week earlier.
It has also been a summer of upheaval at City, with Marmoush’s imminent exit coming after the departures of Rodri, Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Tijjani Reijnders, Nathan Ake and James Trafford.
View from The 42: Despite flurry of early deals, Spurs still needed reinforcements
The impending transfer of Omar Marmoush from Man City leaves Tottenham’s summer spending at close to £400 million (€467.56 million).
Spurs got deals done early in the summer to bolster their defence and midfield, with the arrivals of Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.
Yet as this weekend’s ineffectual showing in the 3-0 defeat to Brentford highlighted, the team are still especially light in attack.
Richarlison, Mikey Moore and Mathys Tel struggled to impose themselves and are not expected to be the long-term starting trio.
With James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons either short of fitness or out with long-term injuries, it was clear the North Londoners needed reinforcements.
The additions of Savio and Marmoush over the past week should ease the pressure, even if neither has shown enough to establish themselves at City over their respective two-year and 18-month stints at the club.
