Arsenal are reportedly leading the charge to sign Eintracht Frankfurt’s breakout star Omar Marmoush in the upcoming January transfer window.
Arsenal lead race to sign ‘Outrageous’ forward Omar Marmoush in January Window
The Egyptian international has been in scintillating form in the Bundesliga, drawing attention from several Premier League clubs.
However, the Gunners appear to be positioning themselves at the front of the queue for his signature, as they look to bolster their attacking options.
Despite a solid run of form in front of goal recently, Arsenal remain eager to add depth and versatility to their attack.
Gabriel Jesus has enjoyed a resurgence over the festive period, but injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka and the need for a natural striker have highlighted gaps in their squad.
Mikel Arteta sees Marmoush as a potential solution, offering not just goals but also creativity and dynamism in the final third.
The 24-year-old forward has been a revelation for Frankfurt this season, contributing 18 goals and 12 assists in just 24 appearances across all competitions.
His early-season form was particularly electrifying, with an eight-goal, four-assist spree over five games propelling him into the spotlight.
Currently, Marmoush sits just one goal shy of Harry Kane in the Bundesliga’s top scorer rankings—a remarkable feat given his relatively recent emergence.
Reports suggest Arsenal have already made contact with Frankfurt regarding Marmoush’s availability.
The German club is eager to extend his contract, but negotiations have reportedly stalled, opening the door for a potential Premier League switch.
While Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United are also credited with interest, Arsenal’s urgency—amplified by Saka’s potentially season-ending injury—may give them the edge.
Marmoush’s versatility could be key for Arteta. Capable of leading the line or operating from wider positions, the Egyptian would provide much-needed flexibility as Arsenal chase another top-four finish.
His arrival could reignite their push for silverware, ensuring the Gunners remain competitive domestically and in Europe.
With Marmoush described as “outrageous” by Bundesliga observers, Arsenal fans will hope the club can secure the services of this rising star and add yet another spark to their already exciting squad.
