Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Egypt forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt.
The 25-year-old has signed a four-and-a-half year deal until June 2029.
Marmoush has scored 15 goals in 17 Bundesliga appearances this season, second only to Harry Kane of Bayern Munich.
“This is a day I will never forget,” Marmoush said.
“To sign for Manchester City – one of the best teams in the world – is an amazing feeling. I am delighted, my family are so proud, and we are all very happy to be here in Manchester.
“With Pep, his technical staff and the world-class facilities here, players have everything they need to improve. That was really enticing for me when I had the chance to come here.
“And I cannot deny I also want to win trophies. City have been the most successful club in England for many, many years, so I know I am joining a winning environment and winning culture.
“I want to learn from the staff and my teammates, and I want to become a valued member of this winning team.
“I really am looking forward to getting going, meeting the other players and showing the Manchester City fans what I can do.”

City have also signed 19-year-old defender Vitor Reis from Palmeiras and defender Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens in the January transfer window.
Marmoush heads to the Premier league after just 18 months with Frankfurt, having joined from Wolfsburg on a free transfer.
The talented forward, who can operate across the front three, was left out of the Frankfurt side that beat Borussia Dortmund on Friday evening with the German club confirming they were in talks over his departure.
Director of football Txiki Begiristain said: “Omar is an accomplished and exciting forward, and I’m delighted he’s joining us.
“He’s had an outstanding season, and every time we have watched him, he has influenced matches.
“He has all the attributes a top-class attacker requires. He has outstanding pace and awareness, and he is exceptional in front of goal. He can also play a number of different positions, which is a really valuable asset.
“I also have no doubt that working with Pep and the technical staff here at City will see him further develop his superb attacking talent.”
