Tottenham Hotspur’s search for a striker could go right down to the wire in the summer transfer market, but the North London club would be able to sign one of their targets for a fair price, even if they wait until nearer deadline day.

Frankfurt would sell Omar Marmoush this summer

The Lilywhites have been linked with a number of forwards so far this summer, but they could be able to snap up Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt for a fee of £42m.

According to a report from SportBILD, the German side would be willing to let their star striker go and would accept an offer of around €50m (£42.6m), and they’d be happy to wait until later in the transfer window to make it happen, too.

It is thought such an offer would be welcomed by Frankfurt, who are set for a busy summer as they look to replace several players in their squad, all while dealing with financial restrictions.

The Bundesliga outfit reportedly have a €27m (£22.8m) deficit to make up in order to balance their books.

Tottenham are on the search for a striker

In light of this, Frankfurt expect “transfer attacks” to ensue this summer, with bids believed to be incoming from August right up until the transfer deadline.

Marmoush, who only signed for Frankfurt on a free transfer last summer, scored 17 goals in 41 games for the club last season (Transfermarkt).

Frankfurt believe interest in the 25-year-old is “slowly gaining momentum,” with particular attention coming from the Premier League.

BILD has previously claimed both Tottenham and Liverpool are interested in Marmoush, and Spurs have been cited again this time around.

Spurs Web Opinion

Omar Marmoush is a good player, and he would be a decent squad player for Spurs, but I do not believe he would be the elite level striker we need to lead our line.

I’d rather us pay £40m for Ivan Toney, who is a Premier League-proven forward and would ad the physicality to our attack which is desperately lacking.
