Man City and Liverpool fight for £50m attacking star
Manchester City need to freshen up their attacking talent as they try to salvage their season and Pep Guardiola’s men are targeting a £50m raid for Eintracht Frankfurt No 10 Omar Marmoush, according to Sam Wallace at The Telegraph.
The Egyptian international has been dubbed, perhaps inevitably ‘the next Mo Salah’ by some and has a versatility that could be invaluable to City – with the 25-year-old comfortable in a variety of attacking positions.
Marmoush joined Frankfurt on a free transfer from Wolfsburg at the start of last season and has shone, banging in 13 goals and contributing seven assists already this term.
He still has two and a half years left on his contract and although the original intention was a summer sale, City’s desperation could seal a move this month.
However, they apparently face competition from Liverpool, who are also after Marmoush.

West Ham approach two other candidates as Graham Potter deal hinges on key factor
Away from the world of player transfers, the managerial merry go-round looks like it may be starting up again.
West Ham remain in advanced talks with Graham Potter to become their new manager, despite Julen Lopetegui taking training as normal on Tuesday morning.
Lopetegui’s position at West Ham is seen as untenable, although much still hinges on whether Potter will decide to take the job at the London Stadium, with Everton – under new ownership – also an option.
West Ham are keen to make the 53-year-old their next manager, having also approached two other candidates.
The Hammers are understood to have sounded out former Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier, while there has previously been interest in Milan’s Sergio Conceicao.

Son Heung Min to stay at Tottenham as club confirm contract extension
Son Heung Min is set to stay at Tottenham beyond this season after the club triggered an extension option in his contract.
The South Korean’s deal was due to expire at the end of this campaign after a decade at the north London club.
But Spurs have activated an extension to their captain’s deal, keeping him under contract until the conclusion of the 2025/26 season and ensuring that he can not depart on a free transfer this summer.
Barcelona were apparently looking to sign Son on a free this summer, given their financial woes, but that now appears to be a no-go

Arne Slot hints at Liverpool transfer plans with comment on January window
Arne Slot has said that Liverpool are keeping an eye open for a chance to strengthen in the transfer window and shrugged off the scrutiny on his side by saying that if he spent his time looking at social media, he would have no life.
The Dutchman ignored top scorer Mohamed Salah’s jibe at former Liverpool vice-captain Jamie Carragher to concentrate on his team.
Salah posted that Carragher was “obsessed” with him after the pundit’s latest discussion on his contract.
And he confirmed that the Premier League leaders will look for opportunities in the winter window, even as he is content with the squad who have also gone top of the Champions League and reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
