City have finalised terms for a loan deal for Omar Marmoush to Spurs as Enzo Maresca continues to reshape his squad before the deadline.
Confirmed details of Marmoush’s loan to Spurs
He is set to complete a temporary switch to Tottenham, with the agreement between the clubs including a £60m obligation to buy.
The move follows a busy spell of Man City transfers, coming shortly after the confirmed departures of Nico Gonzalez and Savinho.
Impact on Maresca’s forward depth at the Etihad
Sanctioning Marmoush’s departure changes Maresca’s forward options at the Etihad as City look to manage a congested calendar with a robust squad.
While the attacking options are being streamlined, City have agreed a deal with Palmeiras for their 22-year-old winger Allan to reinforce the wide options, following the arrival of Moroccan teenage midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi.
Opportunities for Foden, Doku, and Grealish?
The forward’s departure potentially frees up vital minutes across the frontline.
While Jeremy Doku and Phil Foden provide depth in wide and attacking areas, the future of Jack Grealish remains a talking point amid external interest, following another speculative Man City transfer link ahead of the deadline.
City to target late additions before the transfer window closes?
City remain active in the market, with Maresca keen to recruit further leadership figures for the dressing room before the window shuts.
Maresca said: ‘We have experienced players, we have leaders, and now we need to wait four or five more days when the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to add to Ruben and Erling, who at the moment are our two captains.’
