Arsenal Surpass Liverpool in Pursuit of 13-Goal Attacker
Share
Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush is enjoying the best season of his career in the Bundesliga, attracting attention from both Arsenal and Liverpool.
The 25-year-old Egyptian has scored 13 goals and contributed 7 assists in the Bundesliga so far this season.
Thanks to Marmoush’s stellar form, his team currently sits third in the Bundesliga, trailing only Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.
According to GiveMeSport, Arsenal could have the upper hand over Liverpool in the race to sign Marmoush, as the Reds are primarily focused on resolving the contract situation of their star forward Mohamed Salah.
The report states that Frankfurt will demand £50 million for their prized attacker, but they have no intention of letting Marmoush leave mid-season, meaning any move would have to wait until the summer transfer window.
Liverpool has long been linked with a move for Marmoush, potentially as a replacement for Salah, but with the 32-year-old continuing to perform at a high level, the Reds are focused on securing his future at the club.
Liverpool are prioritizing Mohamed Salah over new acquisitions
Liverpool’s current priority is Salah, who is having his best season yet, having already scored 17 goals and provided 13 assists in the Premier League. In just 18 league matches, Salah has been directly involved in 30 goals, making Liverpool favorites to win the Premier League this season.
Although Frankfurt is not looking to sell Marmoush anytime soon, an offer from a major Premier League club like Arsenal or Liverpool could convince the player to push for a move. Marmoush still has two and a half years left on his contract, but a transfer to one of the Premier League’s giants would offer him the chance to compete for trophies and earn a significant wage increase.
With Liverpool’s focus elsewhere, Arsenal now has the opportunity to secure Marmoush’s services and add him to their already formidable attack.

Milos Kerkez’s decision revealed as Liverpool uncover key advantage for January transfer
Liverpool remain linked with Bournemouth’s young left-back Milos Kerkez, who has made an important decision about his future ahead of the January transfer window amid growing interest from both Liverpool and Manchester United.
The 21-year-old Hungary international joined Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar, the club previously managed by Arne Slot, during the summer of 2023. Richard Hughes, who is currently Liverpool’s sporting director, was Bournemouth’s technical director at the time, fueling the speculation linking Kerkez with a move to Anfield.
Liverpool is one of several Premier League clubs reportedly monitoring Kerkez’s progress at Bournemouth, with Manchester United also mentioned as a potential suitor. Some reports even suggest United’s interest may be more substantial.
Despite Bournemouth’s solid Premier League form, with eight wins from 19 games so far, Kerkez seems ready to leave the club, whether in January or the summer. The club is currently managed by Andoni Iraola, who has guided them to a promising start this season.
In a move that may signal a potential transfer, Kerkez has switched to a new agency, signing with Fali Ramadani’s Lian Sports, which also represents Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa, who joined the Reds from Juventus in the summer.
Kerkez announced the change on Instagram, where he was officially welcomed to the agency. It remains to be seen if this shift in representation leads to any movement regarding his future, though journalist Fabrizio Romano has noted that Kerkez is one to watch ahead of the transfer window.
Liverpool currently have Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas competing for the left-back role, but both players have faced fitness and form issues at various points this season. As a result, there are ongoing rumors suggesting that the club may look to strengthen the position in the coming months.
