Arsenal is reportedly among several English clubs vying to sign Omar Marmoush, the forward from Eintracht Frankfurt before the current transfer window closes. However, Manchester City and Liverpool are said to have the upper hand in the race, with Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Chelsea also keeping a close eye on the Egyptian’s progress.

Marmoush, 25, is having a standout season, having scored 18 goals and provided 11 assists in just 24 matches. His impressive performance places him second only to Harry Kane in the Bundesliga goalscoring charts.

As a result of his form, Eintracht Frankfurt is reportedly demanding a fee around €70 million (£58 million) for their star forward. It remains to be seen if any club will be willing to meet this price tag. Given Marmoush’s current form, some believe he could represent a potential bargain, prompting comparisons to some of Europe’s top talents over recent months.
