According to Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenburg, Liverpool are monitoring the performances of Egyptian and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush ahead of a potential move to Anfield in the upcoming window.
Arne Slot’s takeover has been positive as compared to the doubts fans raised whether or not he could fill in the void Jurgen Klopp left at the club. The Reds have started the season with a bang, currently sitting one point clear at the top of the league as their objective to compete for the title and secure a Champions League spot is going strong.
The club didn’t add many new faces to the club in the summer transfer window but will, however, look to add firepower to their side in the upcoming transfer windows.
One of the names shortlisted to strengthen their attack is Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. The Reds are determined to submit an initial offer of €60 million for the striker, and it remains to be seen whether Frankfurt are prepared to accept it.
Is Omar Marmoush the man for Slot’s future plans?
Marmoush is a versatile attacker, comfortable playing as a CF or LW whenever depended upon. His stellar start to the season has been echoed all over Europe—scoring 9 goals and assisting 6 goals in 9 appearances is simply superb.
In his previous game vs. Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga before the international break, the Egyptian managed to score twice and assist a crucial goal that helped his side hold onto a 3-3 draw. A pressing magnet that brings energy and athleticism to the team who could transcend into a tailor-made fit for Arne Slot’s long-term plans
Omar Marmoush has the joint-most goal involvements in the top five leagues in Europe this term. A player. A player that has exceeded expectations, some of the qualities he possesses, like pace, dribbling attributes to catch defenders off guard, and use of his body and space, are exceptional.
Why are Liverpool looking to add another attacker?
It’s no doubt that the qualities Omar Marmoush possesses are top-notch—a seamlessly fine player to get their hands on when the stocks are rising. The 25-year-old attacker would transform Liverpool’s attack with the finishing and consistency doubts that have been raised about the players Liverpool have currently
Darwin Nunez hasn’t been Slot’s reliable option considering the gaps he leaves in finishing and consistency to rack up goals for the Reds. A competitive strike force that can play multiple positions while showing the reliability to depend upon while possessing key traits like dribbling and athleticism from the front line could be key if Marmoush manages to sign for Liverpool.
One way to entice Marmoush into signing for the Reds would be to reunite him with his compatriot Mohamed Salah at club level; however, Salah’s Liverpool future remains uncertain as he is yet to sign a contract extension.
