Renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, a trusted source for transfer and signing news, has revealed the latest developments regarding Tottenham Hotspur's deal with Egyptian international star Omar Marmoush during the ongoing summer transfer window.
Tottenham, under the leadership of their Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi, aims to restructure the English club to return to competing for the Premier League title.
Previously, De Zerbi expressed strong interest in signing Omar Marmoush, viewing him as the right bet to lead the Spurs' attack next season.
Omar Marmoush faced significant difficulty securing a place in Manchester City's starting lineup last season under Pep Guardiola, and this situation appears likely to continue given Mariska's reliance on Haaland as a starter, as evidenced in the Community Shield match against Arsenal.

He reported that an initial verbal agreement was reached for a loan deal with a mandatory purchase clause worth £50 million should certain conditions be met.
He confirmed that the Egyptian national team star agreed to join Tottenham a few days ago and will undergo a medical examination tomorrow, Monday.
Manchester City played a match against Bournemouth shortly ago, which ended in a 2-1 victory for Enzo Mariska's squad; Omar Marmoush did not participate in any minute of the match.
Earlier reports indicated that Omar Marmoush would move to Tottenham until 2031, but Romano confirmed that the deal will initially be a loan, raising some speculation about Manchester City's desire not to completely part ways with the Egyptian star in anticipation of his potential brilliance in the coming period.
