Manchester City's Egyptian star Omar Marmoush ranked among world's top strikers
Manchester City's Egyptian star, Omar Marmoush, is being recognized among the world's elite forwards following his impressive performances for the club.
The British football website, GiveMeSport, included Marmoush in their list of the top 15 global strikers, factoring in his goal tally, assists, goals-per-game ratio, overall team contribution, and individual displays.
Marmoush joined Manchester City during the recent winter transfer window, moving from German side Eintracht Frankfurt.
The GiveMeSport ranking placed Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappé at the summit, followed by Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski in second and Bayern Munich's Harry Kane in third. Marmoush secured the ninth spot, just behind Atlético Madrid's Julián Álvarez.
The report highlighted the positive impression Marmoush has made on Manchester City fans, particularly since manager Pep Guardiola has increasingly utilized him as a secondary striker.
Throughout the current season, combining his appearances for both Frankfurt and Manchester City, Marmoush has scored an impressive 27 goals and provided 11 assists in 45 appearances across all competitions.

Both teams will be eyeing a strong start as they look to seize control early in what promises to be a fiercely contested decider. Sundowns, champions in 2016, are aiming to lift their second continental title and cement their status as one of Africa's elite clubs. Their experience and composure at this level could be key as they step into a cauldron-like atmosphere in Cairo. On the other side, Pyramids FC will be chasing history, hoping to emulate Egyptian powerhouses Al Ahly and Zamalek by claiming their first TotalEnergies CAF Champions League crown. Speaking ahead of the highly anticipated encounter, Sundowns defender Grant Kekana expressed confidence in his side's preparation and tactical approach: 'We are very confident in our team. Of course, it was a tough match in the first leg but I think we're going to do very well. We know what we're going to do. We know how they will play. It's more of a team that stays at the back. We know how we're going to exploit the spaces. We're going to support each other and go forward', said Kekana. With a strong defensive unit, a dynamic midfield, and clinical finishers, Sundowns will look to stay compact against a Pyramids side known for their discipline and quick transitions as evidently seen in their last gasp come-back in Pretoria. With everything on the line, Sunday's clash promises to be a captivating contest between two teams chasing glory.

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak is seen before the match Action Images via Reuters/Lee Smith/File Photo (Reuters) - Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has promised the club will be ready with a new squad in time for the FIFA Club World Cup and that their transfer moves will be very swift. Premier League clubs agreed to open a pre-Club World Cup transfer window, opens new tab on June 1 for 10 days to allow teams to sign players before the tournament. "We have clearly identified who exactly are the targets, in what positions, and we have our clear number one option, our clear number two option," Al Mubarak said in an interview with City's club media channels. "And we'll go about our business and it will be very clear, very swift. And our objective is to try to be ready with the new squad for the Club World Cup." City face Wydad AC in their first game of the tournament on June 18. The team, bidding for a fifth successive Premier League title, suffered a mid-season free fall and finished third in the table, not securing a Champions League berth until the final day of the season. Al Mubarak admitted City had not been successful in last summer's transfer window. "Last summer, we probably should have been more aggressive in some of the changes we needed to do," Al Mubarak said. "We didn't do that and that ended up costing us this year. We already started that rebuild of this team in January." City brought in Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis and Nico Gonzalez during the January window. They lost to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final, however, and ended the season without a trophy for the first time since 2016-17. "I think all the players, they're excited, they're excited about coming back. Nobody feels good about how we finished the season," Al Mubarak said. "They want to come back hungry. And I can see the hunger. I was speaking to Rodri as an example, he's looking for games. Erling (Haaland) didn't want to go on vacation." Spanish midfielder Rodri, the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner, suffered a serious knee injury in September and did not return to action until the season's final two games.
