Wait 5 sec.

With Tottenham closing in on a move for Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush, we have now examined how his numbers compare to those of Dominic Solanke and Richarlison.With a few days left before the summer transfer window slams shut, Tottenham Hotspur have now turned their attention to bolstering their attack.Savinho has completed an £85 million switch from Manchester City to Tottenham after the two clubs reached an agreement on Friday, with official confirmation set to follow.The Brazilian international, however, is not the only forward addition expected to come through the door before the transfer window closes, with City striker Omar Marmoush also close to securing a move to Spurs.The addition of these two players is set to take Tottenham’s summer spend up to £372m, the highest amount spent in a single transfer window by the Lilywhites.And with a move for Marmoush close to being finalised, we have now decided to compare his numbers with those of Richarlison and Dominic Solanke.Photo by Mark Leech/Offside/Offside via Getty ImagesTottenham transfer target Omar Marmoush compared with Dominic Solanke and RicharlisonMarmoush, Solanke and Richarlison all have pretty decent numbers when looking at their all-time career stats, with each striker having played over 200 games and scored 50-plus goals.However, it is Solanke who stands as the clear winner when it comes to goals scored, with the Englishman having scored 147 goals in 389 games, including goals scored at youth level.In second place is Marmoush, with the Egyptian forward managing 87 goals in 279 games, while Richarlison comes in last with 75 goals in 276 games.It is not entirely surprising to see Solanke at the top of this list, as the Englishman has clearly played more games than both Marmoush and Richarlison.But in terms of assists, it is a lot closer, although Solanke once again tops that metric. In the same number of games, the Englishman has managed 43 assists, six more than Marmoush, who comes second with 38 and then Richarlison in last with 31.PlayerGamesGoalsAssistsDominic Solanke38914743Omar Marmoush2798738Richarlison2767531The ability to contribute with both goals and assists is a skill set a Roberto De Zerbi centre-forward must possess, with the Italian often demanding his strikers to drift out of position, link play and stretch defences.Marmoush ticks that box as he is comfortable playing in a host of positions, including centre-forward, right winger, left winger, second striker and attacking midfielder. Richarlison is also capable of doing similar, while Solanke is not the most versatile of strikers.Marmoush, Solanke and Richarlison compared in the Premier LeagueUnsurprisingly, all three centre-forwards have experience playing in the English top flight, although Richarlison and Solanke have spent more time in England.Looking at their respective numbers since Marmoush joined in 24/25 makes for interesting reading, with little to separate the three strikers.PlayerPremier League appearancesGoalsAssistsOmar Marmoush37105Dominic Solanke42123Richarlison47155Since securing a move to England 18 months ago, Marmoush has managed ten goals and five assists in 37 Premier League appearances, while Solanke, in that same period, scored 12 goals and provided three assists in 42 top-flight appearances.Richarlison, on the other hand, tops this chart with 15 goals and five assists in 47 Premier League games for Tottenham.But when looking at each player’s highest ceiling, the picture looks entirely different, as Marmoush has shown in the past that when he gets into a rhythm, he is among one of the best forwards in the world.His best-ever return in a single season came in 24/25 when he managed a whopping 45 goal contributions in 51 games in all competitions.PlayerSeasonAppearancesGoalsAssistsGoal contributionsOmar Marmoush24/2551281745Dominic Solanke23/244221425Dominic Solanke21/224830737Richarlison19/203613417In comparison, Solanke’s best-ever return in a season came in 23/24 when he managed 25 goal contributions in 42 appearances, although in 21-22, when in the Championship, he had a higher return of 30 goals and seven assists in 48 appearances.As for Richarlison, his best return in a season came in 19-20 when he scored 13 goals and provided four assists in 36 appearances.READ MORE: 12 Tottenham transfers that could happen this week before the window slams shutThe post Omar Marmoush stats compared to Solanke and Richarlison show why Tottenham need him appeared first on Spurs Web.
