Omar Marmoush to Tottenham: FPL Impact on Solanke, Sávio and Spurs' Attack

The short answer

Tottenham have officially signed Omar Marmoush from Manchester City on a season-long loan with an obligation to make the transfer permanent in summer 2027.

Reuters reports the permanent fee is £50m, potentially rising to £60m with add-ons.

Marmoush can play:

• centre-forward
• left wing
• as a second striker / inside forward

That versatility raises Tottenham's attacking ceiling but makes the FPL minutes picture considerably less secure.

Transfer status

Where could Marmoush play?

The key FPL issue is whether Roberto De Zerbi sees him primarily as:

1. a centre-forward competing with Dominic Solanke
2. a left-sided attacker
3. a flexible starter who moves between both roles

Marmoush's versatility is excellent for Tottenham but harder for FPL managers because it creates several viable XIs.

What it means for Dominic Solanke

Solanke scored in the 5-1 Carabao Cup win over Charlton.

Marmoush's arrival does not automatically remove him.

But it does create:

• another player capable of starting centrally
• greater substitution risk
• the possibility of matchup-based rotation
• potential two-forward structures

OneFPL verdict: Solanke's xMins take a small hit until the hierarchy is clear.

What it means for Sávio

Sávio had a goal and assist on his Tottenham debut against Charlton.

He is naturally strongest from wide areas and De Zerbi has praised his one-v-one ability.

Marmoush can also start from the left, meaning Sávio's best route may be the right wing.

OneFPL verdict: Sávio remains a strong watch, but do not call him nailed yet.

Marmoush himself

Marmoush scored only three times in 21 league appearances for City last season after struggling for consistent minutes behind elite competition.

Tottenham are signing him to play more.

That makes his expected role more important than his City points history.

Before buying in FPL, confirm:

• official Tottenham listing
• current FPL price
• predicted GW2 role
• whether he can start immediately
• penalties and set pieces
• which side of the attack he occupies

Spurs now have serious attacking depth

The combination of:

• Marmoush
• Sávio
• Solanke
• Mathys Tel
• Mikey Moore
• returning injured attackers over time

means OneFPL should reduce “nailed” labels across the front line until De Zerbi establishes a clear hierarchy.

OneFPL verdict

Marmoush: WATCH immediately.

The move is excellent for his real-world minutes compared with Manchester City, but the FPL price and starting role need to be confirmed before a transfer.

Solanke and Sávio: still viable, but with more rotation risk.
