Egyptian attacker, Omar Marmoush is excited by the prospect of playing alongside Erling Haaland at Manchester City.
The 25-year-old completed a move to the Premier League champions from Bundesliga side, Eintracht Frankfurt.
Marmoush has signed a deal until 2029 in a deal worth 70m euros.
“I can’t wait. Erling is a goal-machine and I’m very excited to be able to play with him on the pitch and learn some things from him also,” he told the club website.
“Hopefully I can assist him, and we can enjoy playing together.”
“From being very young it was my dream to play in the Premier League.
“This league is very intense and fits the style of play that I have and I’m just really happy to be here.
“It’s another test for me and this is just the beginning. Now my journey starts with City and hopefully, we can win many trophies and gave many nice seasons together.”
On being the first Egyptian to join City, he continued: “It’s a big, big honour and I’m really, really happy to be the first player to play for Manchester City, showing what my country has.
“Representing my country at a big club like this was something I always dreamed of.
“The Premier League is for us in Egypt the biggest league and the most followed league because of my team-mates like Mo Salah and other Egyptian players that have played in the Premier League.
“Most of the players growing up, our dream is to be here and that is why it makes me so happy that I am here to reach this beautiful league.”
Marmoush has scored 15 goals in 17 Bundesliga games this season, second only to England captain Harry Kane’s 16 for Bayern Munich.
Marmoush began his career with Wadi Degla in the Egyptian Premier League, before signing for VfL Wolfsburg in 2020.
He had loan spells at FC St Pauli and VfB Stuttgart before his 2023 move to Frankfurt, for whom he scored 37 goals and made 20 assists in 67 games.
