Chelsea is reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, though no official move has been confirmed yet, according to Caught Offside. The Premier League club is still evaluating the situation and determining if they will pursue the deal.
Marmoush, who joined Frankfurt in the summer of 2023, has already cemented his place in the team and is one of the club’s most exciting attacking players. His impressive performances have caught the attention of several European teams.
This season, Marmoush has been on fire, netting 18 goals and providing 12 assists in just 24 appearances. He averages 3.8 shots, 2.1 key passes, and 2.4 dribbles per game (statistics via whoscored). Though he primarily plays as a striker, Marmoush is versatile, capable of also playing on the wings. His pace, dribbling ability, and proficiency in one-on-one situations make him a dangerous attacker. His skills extend to free-kicks and long-range shots, making him a valuable asset in the final third.
Chelsea are actively seeking to strengthen their attack, particularly with the goal of upgrading from Nicolas Jackson. With uncertainty surrounding Christopher Nkunku’s future due to limited game-time, the Blues are considering Marmoush as a potential long-term investment.
While Marmoush’s transfer would come at a considerable cost, Chelsea would need to compete with other Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United, who have also shown interest in the 25-year-old.
