Arsenal have been searching for a truly elite goalscorer ever since Mikel Arteta took over as manager of the club, with a striker seen as the key to take the Gunners to the top.
The Arsenal squad is littered with attacking quality, with the likes of Bukayo Saka providing goals and Martin Odegaard creating endless opportunities at the Emirates Stadium.
However, a true focal point for the team has been lacking for Arteta. Gabriel Jesus has lacked consistency in his time at the club whilst Kai Havertz has never been prolific enough for the Arsenal manager.
This has led to the Gunners being linked with plenty of strikers in recent transfer windows, one of which being Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush. Given that Arsenal are interested in Marmoush, here is everything you need to know about the free-scoring Eintracht Frankfurt man.
Who is Omar Marmoush?
Omar Khaled Mohamed Abdel Salam Marmoush is an Egyptian striker who currently plays for Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, after moving from VfL Wolfsburg in 2023.
Omar Marmoush age
Marmoush was born in Cairo, Egypt on the 7th of February, 1999, making him 25 years old as of January 2025.
Omar Marmoush stats
Marmoush’s move to Frankfurt has seen him grow into one of Europe’s elite goalscorers. He scored 17 goals in his first season at the club before taking a giant leap forward in the first half of the 2024/25 season, scoring 13 goals and providing seven assists in just 15 Bundesliga games.
Is Omar Marmoush a winger?
Despite his form up front for Eintracht Frankfurt, Marmoush has also been known to play out wide in his career which is shown in his assist numbers in the first half of the 24/25 season.
This would make him a valuable addition to the Arsenal squad, given that he could also provide cover for Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
How much does Omar Marmoush earn?
According to Salary Sport, Marmoush is currently earning £32,000 per week at Frankfurt, meaning a potential move to the Premier League would likely come with a hefty wage rise.
Omar Marmoush market value
Due to his remarkable form in Germany, Transfermarkt lists Marmoush’s transfer market value at £49.7m, a remarkable rise from his £6.6m value when he initially joined Frankfurt in 2023.
Did Omar Marmoush live in Canada?
Bizarrely, Marmoush holds Canadian citizenship despite being raised in Egypt. This is because his parents lived in Canada for six years before resettling in Cairo before Marmoush was born.
Omar Marmoush Brentford
As they often are with once-unknown stars, Brentford were aware of Marmoush’s talents back in 2022 when Sky Germany reported their interest in the Egyptian.
However, the move never materialised which is good news for the Gunners as if Marmoush had starred in the Premier League with Brentford, he would’ve cost an astronomical fee to move across London.
