Tottenham Hotspur

The Ghana international winger made such an impressive start to his Spurs career last season, but has been laid low due to injury since the turn of the year – his last appearance against Sunderland on 4 January.

Micky, meanwhile, needed treatment late in our Carabao Cup win against Charlton in his first appearance of the season off the bench on Wednesday night, where Pedro Porro also came off the bench for his first minutes of the campaign and new arrival Sávio burst onto the scene with a goal 11 minutes into his debut, also off the bench.

Asked for team news in his pre-match press conference on Friday, specifically if the likes of Sávio, Micky and new signing Omar Marmoush would be ready to start, Roberto replied: “Yes, we are all in the right condition to play.

“Maybe Kudus can come on the bench, we have to see. Van de Ven is right to play. We have to look, we have to understand at the beginning part of the game, like Sávio, like Pedro. Marmoush is available to play, maybe also at the beginning of the game.”

The goalkeeper links up with our Under-21 squad after spending the last two years at Oxford United.

A boyhood Spurs fan, Jacob came up through the ranks at West Ham United, rising to Under-21 level before his departure in 2024. He was also named on the Hammers’ first team bench on three occasions – all in the UEFA Europa League – during his final season with them.

During his time at Oxford United, he spent short spells on loan at Braintree Town and AFC Totton.

Welcome, Jacob!

The midfielder cancelled out Rebekah Wozniak’s opener to convert from the penalty spot on 23 minutes before she doubling her tally four minutes later, rounding off a fantastic move. Oukriss then completed her hat-trick a 15 minutes into the second half with a stunning strike from the edge of the box.

We weren’t done there either. In the final 11 minutes of the contest, we were even more clinical in front of goal. Ruby Mace struvk with another excellent effort from distance while Jhanaie Pierre stepped off the bench to net a brace before Lexi Withey rounded off the scoring with her second goal in as many games.

It was a scintillating performance from Matt Sharman’s side against a well-organised senior side, making it back-to-back victories to kick off the 2026/27 campaign.

Goalkeeper Rose Mylam was called into action early on to deny Che Thomas, Wozniak and Betty Larkin for the hosts while our first opportunity of the game came on 16 minutes from a low curling left-footed effort from Poppy Neill which was claimed by Amy Liddard.

The deadlock was broken just a minute later though as Wozniak headed home a free-kick from the left for the visitors. However, we quickly found an equaliser and Oukriss, who just moments before produced a superb block in our box, was at the forefront from start to finish, winning a 50/50 about 35 yards out and charged into the box before she was tripped up as the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Oukriss stepped up and calmly slotted into the bottom right corner.

Nife Aramide struck the woodwork shortly after as her header crashed against the post, but she was pivotal in us taking the lead just three minutes before the half hour mark. After a lovely move down the left-hand side, Neill finding Ellie Johsnon who then played in Aramide, she took it to the byline on the right and clipped a lofted ball to the back post for Oukriss to force home.

The visitors were next to hit the woodwork, Daisy Beard’s free-kick from distance striking the crossbar, but from that point onwards, we should have comfortably added to our tally before the break. Eloise Summers-Mee unable to convert from a tight angle after rounding Liddard, Hills denied at the near post from Aramide’s low cross before the latter fired a half-volley over the bar as we only found ourselves one goal to the good at the break.

However, that quickly became two and Oukriss deservedly completed her hat-trick in superb fashion. Having received the ball on the far left of the box, she cut inside and curled into the far top right corner. Pierre, who has been with the first team throughout pre-season alongside Hills, was then denied by Liddard as we tried to further solidify our lead while, at the other end, Mylam was at full stretch to tip over Grace Breen’s looping header.

We continued to push forward, Oukriss with a perfectly timed ball to set Pierre through, but she was denied by Liddard once again before Mace’s fierce strike crashed against the crossbar. Just seconds later though, Mace produced an excellent strike to grab our fourth of the evening. Oukriss turned provider to lay off Mace from around 25 yards out, to the right, and the midfielder had only one thought, sending a powerful effort over Liddard and into the top corner.

With five minutes left on the clock, we netted our fifth and Pierre got her name onto the scoresheet, Withey retaining possession on the far left of the box and finding Pierre, who curled low into the far bottom corner. Two minutes later, and it was six, Mace playing a perfect ball over the top to set Summers-Mee behind the Bees’ defence, she unselfishly squares the ball to Pierre to tap home into the empty net.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Withey netted our seventh and made it back-to-back games at Under-19s level. Pierre turned provider as she sent a lofted ball over the top for Withey, she advanced into the box before switching the ball smartly onto her left before her effort took a slight deflection into the back of the net, completing a fantastic evening for our youngsters in a senior competition.

Line-up

Starting XI: Mylam, Northwood (Deria 46), Elmes, Bird, Bush (Hills 46 (Withey 80)), Mace, Aramide, Johnson (Pierre 46), Neill (Ordean 85), Summers-Mee, Oukriss. Substitutes (not used): Shields, Abeka.

SPURSPLAY

After representing Egypt in his first World Cup at the start of the summer, the 27-year-old enjoyed wedding celebrations earlier this month and rounded it off with signing for Spurs.

Arriving in north London after an 18-month spell at Manchester City, our new number 22 became our eighth summer addition and follows former City teammate Sávio in making the switch this week.

“It feels amazing,” said Omar, speaking in first interview with the club.

“I'm very happy to be here, so excited to start with the team and can't wait to meet all of the fans and start playing all together on the pitch.

“My family's reaction has been amazing. My wife is so happy to be here also in London and for me to be in this club, to see me happy and I'm very happy to be here.

“It's been an amazing summer. The wedding, of course, the best day of my life. Coming here, I'd say it's been an amazing summer to finish it off strong, and I can't wait to get started.”

A versatile, pacey attacker with an eye for goal, the forward signed for Man City under former boss Pep Guardiola in January, 2025 following a prolific spell at German side Eintracht Frankfurt and produced seven goals – including a hat-trick against Newcastle and the 2024/25 Goal of the Season winner against Bournemouth – in his opening 16 Premier League appearances.

Developing under one of the best coaches in world football and winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in east Manchester, the Egypt international now links up with Roberto De Zerbi who he regards as ‘one of the best’ coaches in the world and is ‘very excited’ about the attractive project here.

“Tottenham's one of the biggest clubs in England and, if not, the world,” he said.

“The project was very attractive. I spoke a lot with the Head Coach and he convinced me of the whole project and I can't wait to start.

“I'm sure he's [De Zerbi] up there, one of the best coaches in the world for sure. I think our passion for the game will be very good together and I’m so excited to start with him.

“I'd say I bring pace, goals, a lot of passion and love for the team, for the game. I would say these four things. I just can't wait to be in front of the fans and start playing the game.”

The Egyptian forward, who arrived this afternoon (Thursday) from Manchester City, has been assigned the number 22 shirt.

Squad numbers remain subject to change until the club submits its final squad list to the Premier League following the conclusion of the transfer window. As always, please refer to the terms and conditions at point of sale when purchasing any replica shirt personalisation.

Squad numbers remain subject to change until the club submits its final squad list to the Premier League following the conclusion of the transfer window. As always, please refer to the terms and conditions at point of sale when purchasing any replica shirt personalisation.

Omar joins the Club from Manchester City, and the deal includes an obligation to make the move permanent next summer.

Omar said: "It feels amazing to be here. I'm so excited to get started with the team and I can't wait to meet the fans.

"Tottenham Hotspur is one of the biggest clubs in England, if not the world, and the project was very attractive to me.

"I've spoken with the Head Coach, I loved what he had to say and I'm sure our passion for the game will go very well together."

Sporting Director, Johan Lange, said: "Omar is a quality player and his arrival represents a statement of our intent.

"He has demonstrated that he can perform at the highest level, and we believe he can play a major role in what we want to achieve over the coming years.

"We are delighted to welcome Omar to the club and look forward to seeing him make a significant contribution as we continue to build a strong squad to realise our ambitions."

Head Coach, Roberto De Zerbi, said: "Omar is exactly the kind of player we want at this club - ambitious, hungry and determined to make a difference.

"He has incredible attacking quality but what I also love is his desire to improve and to win.

"He brings pace, intelligence and a real threat in front of goal, and I believe he can take our attacking play to another level."

Hailing from Cairo, Egypt, Omar made his professional debut at just 17-years-old for Wadi Degla in July, 2016, before moving to Germany the following year to join VfL Wolfsburg. Initially turning out for their youth side in the Regionalliga Nord, he made his senior debut for Wolfsburg in May, 2020, ahead of a loan move to FC St Pauli in the second half of 2020/21.

It was in the very next campaign where the forward’s breakthrough in European football came as the then 22-year-old moved to VfB Stuttgart on loan. Making an eye-catching start to the temporary switch, he scored on his debut before claiming the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month award for September, 2021 - an accolade he won for a second time the following March.

After a stellar year in Baden-Württemberg, he returned north to Wolfsburg and became a first team regular in his final campaign with Die Wolfe, amassing a total of 48 appearances and six goals for the senior side.

A move to Eintracht Frankfurt came in May, 2023, and an outstanding debut campaign followed, seeing him net 17 goals in 41 games in all competitions as he helped his team secure a UEFA Europa League spot. His impressive form continued into the next campaign, claiming the league’s Player of the Month award for September, 2024, as he contributed to seven of the team’s eight goals, scoring five of them. He secured the same Bundesliga award once again for November, 2024.

After making 67 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring 37 goals and registering 20 assists, the forward headed to Manchester City in January, 2025, and a remarkable start to life in the Premier League saw him score a hat-trick in a 4-0 victory over Newcastle United the following month.

In his debut season with City, he made 25 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight goals, and went on to claim the Premier League’s Goal of the Season award for a sensational strike against Bournemouth in May, 2025. Helping City secure the Carabao Cup and FA Cup last term, he took his goal tally to 16 in all competitions across 62 appearances.

Netting the winner on his senior debut for Egypt in October, 2021, in a World Cup qualifying fixture against Libya, he helped his country to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations final. Omar has represented Egypt at three Africa Cup of Nations and featured in the World Cup for the first time this summer. He currently has 55 caps and 11 goals to his name.

Welcome, Omar!

So impressive last time out in N17 in our final pre-season match against Hoffenheim, the Academy graduate lit the flame again against Charlton in our Carabao Cup second round tie on Wednesday evening.

Always probing, turning, twisting and looking to make things happen from the right, Mikey cut inside in the 41st minute and let rip with his left foot from 16 yards – his shot rifling into the roof of the net to break the deadlock.

It was just what the doctor ordered, as well, as four more goals followed against the well-drilled, in-form Championship side – Dom Solanke, Kevin Danso’s first for the club followed by another, and a stunning debut from new signing Sávio, before Sávio’s shot deflected in off Ben Davies for the final scoreline.

Mikey played across the front line as Roberto De Zerbi made his changes – every touch greeted with fans off their seats, and numerous choruses of ‘he’s one of our own’ bellowing out from the South Stand and around the stadium.

Mikey spoke to us afterwards – here’s what he had to say…

Q1 | Tell us about the goal, it must have been a nice moment, personally, and important to break the deadlock…

Mikey: “Yeah, it was a good moment to score in the game and obviously scoring in the stadium is always an unreal feeling. I thoroughly enjoyed it.”

Q2 | It was an important goal in the context of the game – Charlton looked a tough nut to crack…

Mikey: “Charlton were tough to play against for the first 35-40 minutes, but when you score, it changes their game plan, and they've got to go for it a bit more. That helped us in the long run of the game, and we obviously built on it really well.”

Q3 | You had a couple of chances at Brentford – how sweet was it to bounce back after a tough afternoon at the Gtech?

Mikey: “Yeah, 100% I should have scored over the weekend - one of the chances I had, probably two of them to be honest. It was a bit of a relief to score and get on the scoresheet for Tottenham again. It's what I enjoy doing and what you play for.”

Q4 | Ben Davies said he loves the way you try to get on the front foot, push opponents back, be creative…

Mikey: “I think that's about right. The first five minutes, to be honest, I wasn't good enough. I knew that myself and when I did score, it gave me a bit of confidence. I knew that if I kept going, I'd show good moments in the game when they got a bit more tired. I built a bit that confidence off the goal and you do need those little moments to build on.”

Q5 | What do you think about your relationship with the fans and playing in front of that South Stand, all singing ‘he’s one of our own’?

Mikey: “I know… it’s unreal when they’re all singing your name. It's what you play for and what I dreamed of as a little kid.”
