THE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite having the robotic Haaland as their starting striker, City are still willing to fork out €80million (£67.6m/$82.5m) for the Egypt international. Marmoush waved goodbye to the fans on Friday following their 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund. The Eintracht Frankfurt forward will provide a huge amount of firepower alongside the Norwegian, as well as Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Co.
DID YOU KNOW?
Marmoush has bagged 15 goals in 17 Bundesliga games this season and has also provided nine assists. He sits behind the one and only Harry Kane in the charts, but will give up the chase for the Golden Boot and swap it for life in England's top flight.

The 25-year-old may even be registered in time for City's Champions League clash at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, but more likely their match against Chelsea next weekend.
