Manchester City will look to conclude a potential £67million deal for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush this week as they splash out over £100million this window. Egypt international Marmoush has already agreed personal terms and City are in the throes of negotiating the structure of the fee before signing the prolific forward.

Mail Sport exclusively revealed City's interest last month and on Saturday Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krosche confirmed: 'One club has made contact. A club has expressed its interest.' Marmoush went on to score Frankfurt's winner in their 1-0 win at St Pauli.

The 25-year-old, second only to Harry Kane in the Bundesliga scoring charts, has now scored 19 goals overall this season. City have been looking for a forward to alleviate the burden on Erling Haaland and Pep Guardiola has admitted they made a mistake by not replacing Julian Alvarez who joined Atletico Madrid in the summer.

City had originally hoped to land Marmoush for around £40m but Frankfurt have been insistent that they want a premium because it is the January window and they need to find a replacement. City are bolstering their squad to give Guardiola fresh impetus for the second half of the season. Centre-back Abdukodir Khusanov is expected to arrive from Lens at the start of this week after City agreed to pay £33.5million for the Uzbekistan international.
