Omar Marmoush will join Tottenham from Manchester City, with Fabrizio Romano revealing the exact conditions of the deal after Savinho was also scooped.
Spurs have evidently needed some extra attacking firepower this summer. There have been questions raised over injury prone Dominic Solanke and Richarlison, despite the latter being the club’s top scorer last season.
In the first game of this season – a 3-0 loss to Brentford – the Brazilian failed to have a single shot in his 68-minute appearance.
Tottenham have been advancing on the signing of City’s Marmoush of late, and Fabrizio Romano has revealed on Sunday that a verbal agreement is in place with the Manchester outfit for his transfer.
The agreement is for an initial loan deal, with Spurs obliged to pay City £50million if certain conditions are met during the season.
The Egyptian had already said yes to joining Tottenham, and on Monday will travel for his medical with the club.
Omar Marmoush loan comes after Savinho permanent deal
It will be a surprise to some that Marmoush is joining on an initial loan deal, though with Spurs already having spent £230million this summer, and Savinho joining for £85million, a deal which won’t take place immediately will be better for the club staying in line with financial regulations.
Indeed, the agreement for City winger Savinho to join for the aforementioned figure was revealed days ago.
David Ornstein explained the chances of all of that being paid to City.
He said: ‘Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement to sign Manchester City winger Savinho in a deal that could be worth up to £85million.
‘Spurs are set to pay £75m up front, plus £10m in potential bonuses for the Brazilian – £5m of which are highly achievable.’
It’s likely that the conditions for Marmoush’s deal to become permanent are also easily achievable, but for a striker, there’s a probability that a certain amount of goals must be hit before the transfer is triggered, as Tottenham wouldn’t want to pay for a striker who’s not doing his job.
