Omar Marmoush's versatility could benefit Spurs in EPL

Summary

Omar Marmoush, primarily a number nine, has showcased his ability to play various offensive roles. He has been utilized as a central attacker, second striker, and a wide player across previous clubs, including Frankfurt and Manchester City. Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha believes Marmoush excels when positioned to exploit space beyond defenses. His game statistics indicate he averages approximately 11.46 runs in behind per 90 minutes, close to that of other forwards. This adaptability may align well with Spurs' tactical approach under Roberto de Zerbi.

What they're saying

"
Omar Marmoush is primarily a number nine, but he has rarely been confined to one role across the front line. Manchester City have followed a similar pattern, using him mainly as a central attacker while also deploying him from the flank and just behind another forward. Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha sees the Egyptian as most dangerous when he is able to threaten the space beyond the defence.
