Liverpool and Arsenal are fighting for the signing of Omar Marmoush
Liverpool They are reported to be in a battle with Arsenal over a deal to sign Eintracht Frankfurt star Omar Marmoush, according to Spanish outlet Signings.
After joining the Eagles as a free agent last summer, the 25-year-old has now established himself as the main man in attack for the German side following the departure of Randal Kolo Muani to Paris Saint-Germain.
Marmoush has made a stellar start to this campaign, scoring four goals and registering three assists in five appearances for club and country. Liverpool and Arsenal, impressed by the Egyptian's recent performances, appear to have expressed interest in signing him.
According to the report of SigningsLiverpool are keeping a close eye on Marmoush's performances ahead of a possible move to lure him to Anfield.
The player is open to taking the next step in his career and moving to the Premier League Liverpool could therefore convince him to join the club if they formalise their interest. Having only recently signed the striker, Frankfurt have no intention of letting their star go on the cheap and want at least £42m.
Battle
However, the Spanish outlet claims that Arsenal are also monitoring Marmoush's performances as they hope to bolster their attack in a title challenge. Champions League and the Premier League title.
Furthermore, in addition to Arsenal and Liverpool, West Ham United and Crystal Palace have also expressed interest in signing the Egyptian international.
Arsenal are said to be looking to sign a new prolific goalscorer. They were linked with numerous names during the summer transfer window but failed to sign anyone before the deadline. After deciding not to reinforce the number nine position in the recently concluded transfer window, it now appears that they are planning to do so next year.
On the other hand, Liverpool have a solid attack, but Darwin Nunez has struggled to prove himself in the Premier League and is now out of favour under Arne Slot. Therefore, perhaps Liverpool have already started thinking about replacing him with a new striker.
Marmoush is a versatile striker, as he is comfortable playing on the left wing as well as in the centre-forward position. If he can continue to show his goalscoring ability in the Bundesliga this season, Arsenal or Liverpool could finally opt to formalise their interest in signing him.
