Manchester United have reportedly joined Arsenal in the race to sign Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush.

The 25-year-old has enjoyed a sublime start to the new season and his form has attracted the attention of Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham United and Nottingham Forest, according to CaughtOffside.

Marmoush has notched eight goals and four assists in just six Bundesliga games so far this season and he leads the goalscoring charts in Germany as a result.

The Egypt international’s hot streak of form continued on Sunday as he netted a brace against Bayern Munich, including a 94th minute equaliser to ensure Eintracht remain in third place in the Bundesliga table.

Harry Kane has scored five league goals so far this term, while RB Leipzig hotshot and Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko has only found the back of the net on two occasions in the Bundesliga this term.

As per CaughtOffside, Eintracht Frankfurt will likely accept offers for Marmoush in the region of €30 million, although his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) currently stands at just €17.3m.

What has been said about Omar Marmoush?

After Eintracht Frankfurt’s 3-1 win over Besiktas on Thursday, club director Markus Krosche admitted: “It's true that Omar made a clear commitment to us in the summer.

“He has developed well and still has a lot of potential to develop further. We don't want to lose so many key players. However, I have to admit that no Eintracht player is untouchable.”

Marmoush, a full-fledged Egypt international, joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Wolfsburg on a free transfer last summer and he scored 17 goals in all competitions during his debut campaign at the club.

However, he has already notched nine goals in nine matches this time around, so Marmoush is well on his way to bettering his tally.
