Manchester City are moving quickly to get their transfer business concluded. There is a need for City to move quickly in the transfer market. It has become apparent that there are several holes in Pep Guardiola’s squad. That has become obvious as this season has progressed. It is also obvious that the Manchester City hierarchy has identified these holes and are determined to rectify the situation. The imminent arrival of Abdukodir Khusanov strengthens City’s defence. If City can conclude a deal for Omar Marmoush that will fill another gaping hole in City’s squad.

Manchester City have been screaming out for another striker this season. Erling Haaland has carried a heavy burden so far this season. But if Marmoush arrives at the Etihad he can step in and provide cover and support for City’s top scorer. Marmoush has scored 18 goals and 12 assists so far this season. His versatility means he could also play with Haaland. Marmoush can play up front, out wide or just behind Haaland. That versatility will add another dimension to City’s attacking play. The technical ability of Marmoush is such that he will be an immense addition to the Manchester City squad.

It now appears that it is only a matter of time before Manchester City agrees on a transfer fee for Eintracht Frankfurt to sign Omar Marmoush. Fabrizio Romano’s new report indicates that a deal is close. That is exciting news and shows that City are intent on moving quickly in the transfer market. They desperately need to, and all indications are that they’re doing exactly that.
