The forward line that began the day away at the Gtech is unlikely to be seen again, you’d imagine, with Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> boss Roberto De Zerbi<\/a> now blessed with increased depth following an end-of-window splurge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Savinho, or Savio, has already made his mark following an eye-catching debut against Charlton Athletic, the Brazilian hopefully set to prove worth the wait following a year of speculation and admiring glances.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old has now been joined in north London by ex-Manchester City colleague, Omar Marmoush<\/a>, the Egyptian, like Savio, in need of a fresh start, having become something of a forgotten figure back at the Etihad.<\/p>\n

He’s a relative unknown quantity in Premier League terms, but under De Zerbi’s watch, don’t be surprised to see Marmoush explode at N17 this season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Why Marmoush’s Bundesliga record should have Spurs excited<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

Let’s face it, Spurs haven’t moved for Marmoush based on what’s shown in a Man City shirt, the 27-year-old having been a bystander to proceedings over the past year or so.<\/p>\n

It was only really in his first six months at the club that the former Eintracht Frankfurt talisman really caught the eye, having scored seven in his first 14 Premier League starts after signing in January 2025.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola and co had snapped up the \u00a363m man<\/a> that winter off the back of his stunning Bundesliga exploits, with Marmoush almost coming from nowhere to emerge as a real force in German football.<\/p>\n

Allowed to move on from Wolfsburg on a free transfer in 2023, he made his former club pay for that decision, going on to score and assist 57 goals in just 67 games for his new side.<\/p>\n

That spell at Frankfurt notably saw Marmoush enjoy a rampant start to the 2024\/25 campaign, prior to his City switch, having scored 15 times in just 17 Bundesliga games, alongside registering a further eight assists.<\/p>\n

In that six-month streak, he also created 11 ‘big chances’, averaged 2.1 key passes per game and enjoyed a standout record of 2.7 successful dribbles per game, proving such a handful in his fluid number nine role.<\/p>\n

Only 16 goals in 62 games for City have followed, but a certain Erling Haaland has had plenty to do with that, with a more prominent role for Marmoush, like he had at Frankfurt, potentially set to see him soar in a Tottenham shirt.<\/p>\n

\n How Spurs could sign another Marmoush <\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

Savio? Done. Marmoush? Done. A busy end to the window it has been for Spurs and ENIC so far, but De Zerbi appears hell-bent on signing at least one more forward.<\/p>\n
