Spurs Web has compared Younes Ebnoutalib’s stats with those of Dominic Solanke and Omar Marmoush following recent Tottenham transfer links, and the contrast between the numbers is striking.Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with forwards ahead of the winter window, and it is no surprise given Spurs’ struggles in front of goal in the Premier League.Roberto De Zerbi’s side have managed just two goals after five appearances, with neither of those coming from the Italian’s strikers. Conor Gallagher and Jan Paul van Hecke stand as Tottenham’s only scorers this season in the English top flight, leaving Omar Marmoush and Dominic Solanke goalless in a Spurs shirt.Tottenham’s goals in the Premier League came after six hours of football.Marmoush only grabbed his first goals of the 2026/27 campaign with Egypt in their latest outing against Sudan. Solanke is yet to score, while Richarlison, another option in attack, has been frozen out of the Tottenham squad after several failed transfers away from Spurs in the summer.Richarlison was Spurs’ top goal scorer in the Premier League last season after he scored 11 goals in a Lilywhite shirt.RicharlisonTottenham – Premier League (2025 – 2026)Appearances32Average Rating6.83Shots47Shots on Target26Goals11Assists4Stats correct as of 30 September 2026.However, this season, Tottenham’s options at centre‑forward are far from plentiful, especially with Richarlison excluded from the Premier League squad, meaning any injury to either Solanke or Marmoush could leave the team dangerously short in that department.The last few weeks have seen Spurs linked with several attacking options, including Brian Brobbey, Igor Matanovic and most recently Younes Ebnoutalib. Spurs Web has now taken a look at Ebnoutalib’s statistics and compared them with Tottenham’s current strikers.Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty ImagesTottenham linked with Younes Ebnoutalib as Solanke and Marmoush struggleEbnoutalib is 23 years old and earned his first Germany call-up during this international break after an impressive start to the 2026/27 campaign with Eintracht Frankfurt.The striker has already notched five goals and two assists in all competitions this season, including a hat-trick against Union Berlin.That return already places him above Tottenham’s forwards, with Solanke and Marmoush yet to score a single goal for Spurs this season.PlayerAppearancesGoalsAssistsMinutesYounes Ebnoutalib521371′Dominic Solanke71—248′Omar Marmoush6——468′Solanke vs Marmoush vs Ebnoutalib — 2026/27 seasonEbnoutalib’s numbers compared with Spurs forwardsMoving away from the raw numbers and focusing on the underlying statistics, it is clear once more that Younes Ebnoutalib is ahead of Tottenham’s forwards.Spurs Web compared the strikers’ underlying numbers, including non-penalty goals, non-penalty xG, goal conversion, aerial duels, touches in the opposition box, xA and off-ball duels won, with those of Marmoush, who has played 366 minutes in the Premier League this season compared to Ebnoutalib’s 300 minutes in the Bundesliga.The Tottenham target comes out on top in each of these metrics aside from off-ball duels won. Ebnoutalib has stronger non-penalty xG, goal conversion, aerial duels, touches in the opposition box and xA than Marmoush, with the statistical gap significant.MetricYounes Ebnoutalib 26/27Omar Marmoush 26/27NPG97.30.5npxG89.79.2Goal conversion %91.40.5Aerial %16.20.5Touches in box87.616.8xA82.217.3Offensive duels won16.296.2Minutes300366Marmoush, however, leads in off-ball duels won. Given Ebnoutalib’s performances this season, it is no surprise Jurgen Klopp was impressed and moved swiftly to add the striker to his German squad during the September break.Klopp said: “I saw his first game of the season for Eintracht and said to myself, ‘What a player! Where did they find him?’ There was no discussion among the coaching staff. We all immediately agreed: ‘Yes, we have to include him.’”At his previous club SV 07 Elversberg, Ebnoutalib managed 12 goals in 25 appearances before his winter move to Frankfurt. His first few months in Frankfurt colours were disrupted by a knee injury, but he has now put those problems behind him, and it is no surprise Spurs are watching him closely.The forward currently has a Transfermarkt value of £6.8 million (€8 million).READ MORE: ‘Annual Spurs injury crisis begins’ – Tottenham fans react to Van Hecke injury newsThe post Stats show why Tottenham want Younes Ebnoutalib to replace Dominic Solanke appeared first on Spurs Web.
