MANCHESTER CITY ARE DESPERATE TO SURVIVE SO THEY BROUGHT IN A HELPER

Manchester City have signed Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt for £63m. The Egyptian becomes City’s third signing of the January window after centre-backs Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, taking their January spend over £125m.
Marmoush, 25, signed a four-and-a-half-year deal until June 2029. The basic fee is £59m but there are potential bonuses worth another £4m. 

Pep Guardiola wanted another striker after City sold Julian Alvarez over the summer and Marmoush, who has scored 20 goals in 26 games this season, arrives with an exciting reputation. He will take jersey number 7. City have lacked support for Erling Haaland after selling Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid.
‘This is a day I will never forget. To sign for Manchester City – one of the best teams in the world – is an amazing feeling. I am delighted, my family are so proud, and we are all very happy to be here in Manchester,’ said Marmoush. 
‘With Pep, his technical staff and the world-class facilities here, players have everything they need to become better. That was really enticing for me when I had the chance to come here.
And 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. I want to learn from the staff and my team-mates, and I want to become a valued member of this winning team.
