As a versatile forward, Marmoush can operate across the front line, making him a valuable addition to Manchester City's squad. During his time at Frankfurt, he scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga this season, a feat that puts him just one goal behind Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane.

Marmoush's move to Manchester City marks a significant milestone in his career, having joined Frankfurt on a free transfer from Wolfsburg just 18 months ago. Reflecting on his ambitions with his new club, Marmoush said, “I cannot deny I also want to win trophies. City have been the most successful club in England for many, many years, so I know I am joining a winning environment and winning culture.”
