Who can stop Omar Marmoush? Arriving freely from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023, the Egyptian international striker (32 caps, 6 goals) is impressing everyone at the start of the 2024-2025 season. Under the colors of Eintracht Frankfurt, the native of Kairo has been piling up goals and assists for several weeks. Silent during the first day against Borussia Dortmund, the number 7 of the Eagles opened his account against Hoffenheim on August 31. A caviar and a first achievement definitively launching the machine.
9 goals and 6 assists in 9 matches
The situation is simple. Since this meeting against TSG, the 1m83 right-hander has always been decisive. A double against his former club, a new achievement against Gladbach before offering himself a masterclass on the pitch in Kiel (2 goals and 2 assists). Full of confidence, the one who also found the net against Besiktas in the Europa League, confirmed his thunderous debut this Sunday, during the clash against Bayern Munich. Double scorer, he allowed his team to snatch a point from the draw at the very end of the match (90+4th).
Before that, the 25-year-old serial scorer had also revived his teammates by equalizing and perfectly serving Hugo Ekitike, author of the Eagles’ second goal. “What he did on Ekitike’s 2-1 goal was not normal. He won with force against Upamecano. Nobody has done it like that yet this season against Upa.recognized Vincent Kompany at the final whistle before complimenting the person concerned for his astonishing performance. “He also has speed and then the quality of finishing. I can recognize it when players have particular qualities. At Bayern we have a lot of players like this and he is one of them..
Frankfurt is in heaven!
Strong words largely justified given the impact of Marmoush at the start of the season. Technically fine, surgical in his transmissions and clinical in front of goal, the Egyptian then imposes himself as a real poison for the opposing defenses. Very high performances allowing the German team to appear on the podium of the Bundesliga today. Coveted by Manchester City according to various English sources, more or less reliable, the one which is currently valued at 22 million euros by the specialized site Transfermarkt logically received the praise of his trainer.
“He is having a fantastic season”summarized Dino Toppmöller, recognizing a “incredible new performance” against the Bavarians. The Frankfurt coach also aroused curiosity when he revealed that he had concluded “a little agreement” with his protégé. “What I told him remains a secret between me and Omar for the moment. I might reveal it at the end of the season.”confided the 53-year-old German tactician, all smiles. Interviewed at the microphone of DAZNthe main person concerned preferred to show him modesty at a time when his prowess is making an impression on the football world.
“We did very well. We worked offensively and defensively as a team and we were ice cold in front of goal. I’m having a lot of fun in Frankfurt. We are like a family, you can see it on the pitch”conceded Hugo Ekitiké’s teammate, also released since his departure from PSG. With an Omar Marmoush at this level, Eintracht Frankfurt can, whatever happens, hope for a bright future. It now remains to be seen whether the former Stuttgart striker, trained at Wadi Degla, will maintain this infernal pace after the international break. Response on October 19 during the clash against Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen counting for the 7th day.
