Liverpool are showing strong interest in Eintracht Frankfurt's Omar Marmoush, according to reports - and the attacker is outperforming Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane in a number of areas this campaign.

The Egyptian international has impressed in his inaugural season for the Bundesliga club, notching up 15 goals and six assists from 33 appearances.

And his displays have caught the attention of the Reds, Newcastle,, and Tottenham, a report from Bild suggests. Unsurprisingly, his standout performances have caught the attention of Liverpool and other clubs.

The publication reports that Liverpool have identified Marmoush as a target for the upcoming transfer window.

The 25-year-old is under contract at Eintracht Frankfurt until 2027 but it’s thought that the club and the player could be willing to see a departure happen in the forthcoming transfer window, even though he arrived from VfL Wolfsburg just last year.

It’s thought that Marmoush does not have a release clause but an offer between €50m and €60m would be enough to secure his signature.

The African is further ahead than England captain Harry Kane, who sits in sixth place overall.

Unlike Kane, Marmoush is able to play on either flank as well as down the middle - and it’s this sort of versatility that will no doubt attract suitors for the summer transfer window.

Given an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of only €15.7 million, Marmoush could emerge as a remarkable bargain acquisition for interested Premier League clubs.
