Arsenal are in desperate need of a new forward in this transfer window.
The Gunners have lost Bukayo Saka to an injury. The Englishman has been their biggest goal threat for a few years now, and his absence is already costing them.
The defeat against Newcastle United in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final showed that Arsenal need a player who can finish off chances inside the box.
There is a forward who has been doing that consistently since the start of this season, and his club want Arsenal to make a move for him in this window.
Eintracht Frankfurt want Arsenal to bid for Omar Marmoush
Omar Marmoush has been one of the most talked-about names in football this season.
The Egypt international is having a stunning campaign. He has scored 18 goals and provided 12 assists in just 24 appearances, which is a stunning return.
Manchester City are pushing to sign Marmoush in this window, and Frankfurt are open to letting him go if the right offer arrives.
GiveMeSport have now claimed that the current expectation is that Marmoush will be sold for around £50 million in the coming days.
However, Frankfurt would like more.
That is why the report claims that Frankfurt are ‘hoping’ to see either Arsenal or Liverpool, or both, enter the bidding war for Marmoush.
The German club want his price to go up to £60 million, which is arguably a fair figure considering that he has directly contributed to 30 goals already this season.
How Omar Marmoush’s stats compare against five other Arsenal striker targets
It is clear that Frankfurt are open to selling Marmoush for the right price.
Manchester City are eyeing a move for the Egyptian even though they have Erling Haaland. That shows real ambition and Arsenal should learn a thing or two from the defending champions.
Marmoush’s numbers this season put him above most of Arsenal’s reported striker targets.
| Striker linked with Arsenal | Games | Goals | Assists |
| Omar Marmoush | 24 | 18 | 12 |
| Alexander Isak | 22 | 15 | 4 |
| Benjamin Sesko | 23 | 11 | 3 |
| Dusan Vlahovic | 23 | 12 | 2 |
| Viktor Gyokeres | 29 | 31 | 6 |
| Matheus Cunha | 20 | 10 | 4 |
As the table shows above, Marmoush has produced better numbers than every Arsenal target this season apart from Viktor Gyokeres.
The Egyptian is a different profile of striker compared to the Sporting CP star, but we’re sure Arsenal fans would love to see their club sign either of them this month.
However, as things stand, Arsenal have not made a move for any forward in this window.
