Manchester City have boosted their firepower by announcing the £63million signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush. Marmoush, 25, has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal until June 2029. Pep Guardiola wanted another striker through the door after City sold Julian Alvarez over the summer and Marmoush, who has scored 20 goals in 26 games this season, arrives with an exciting reputation.

To sign for Manchester City – one of the best teams in the world – is an amazing feeling. I am delighted, my family are so proud, and we are all very happy to be here in Manchester,' said Marmoush.
