- Liverpool were previously linked with the Egypt international
Manchester City have officially announced the arrival of Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt for a deal worth €70m (£59m).
The Egypt international is the latest arrival in a busy January transfer window for the defending Premier League champions. Brazilian centre-back Vitor Reis signed from Palmeiras on Tuesday, one day after the acquisition of fellow defender Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens.
"This is a day I will never forget," Marmoush told City's official website. "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.
"With Pep [Guardiola], his technical staff and the world-class facilities here, players have everything they need to improve. 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 teammates, and I want to become a valued member of this winning team.
"I really am looking forward to getting going, meeting the other players and showing the Manchester City fans what I can do."
Marmoush has enjoyed the best season of his career, racking up 15 goals and 10 assists in just 17 Bundesliga appearances for Frankfurt thus far. The 25-year-old forward, who can play anywhere across the frontline, was tracked by Liverpool last year.
City director of football Txiki Begiristain, who will leave the club in the summer, won the race for Marmoush's signature and was full of praise for one of his final signings at the club. "Omar is an accomplished and exciting forward, and I'm delighted he's joining us," the Spaniard said.
"He's had an outstanding season, and every time we have watched him, he has influenced matches.
"He has all the attributes a top-class attacker requires. He has outstanding pace and awareness, and he is exceptional in front of goal. He can also play a number of different positions, which is a really valuable asset.
"I also have no doubt that working with Pep and the technical staff here at City will see him further develop his superb attacking talent."
Marmoush will wear the number seven shirt and has signed a deal until the summer of 2029 which includes add-ons of up to £4m.
