Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to back manager Thomas Frank in the January transfer window, with the club linked with ambitious moves for Manchester City striker Omar Marmoush and Ajax sensation Mika Godts.
Spurs Seek Firepower from Premier League Rival
Following a performance full of promise but marred by individual errors in their recent defeat to Liverpool, the Spurs hierarchy is set to support Frank's bid to add consistency and potency to his squad. The need for added firepower is urgent, exacerbated by Dominic Solanke's persistent injury issues and the indifferent form of Randal Kolo Muani.
According to reports, Tottenham's search has led them to the Etihad Stadium and Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush. The 26-year-old Egyptian international, who signed for City from Eintracht Frankfurt for £59 million in January 2025, has found minutes hard to come by this season, featuring for just 206 Premier League minutes.
Despite Pep Guardiola previously praising Marmoush's importance as cover for Erling Haaland, a loan move with an obligation to buy is being touted as a potential solution. Marmoush, who scored seven goals in 16 league appearances after his arrival, would offer valuable versatility to Tottenham's attacking options.
Ajax's 'Next Eden Hazard' on Tottenham's Radar
In a parallel pursuit, Tottenham are also showing serious interest in Ajax's 20-year-old Belgian winger, Mika Godts. The talented youngster, who has drawn comparisons to Chelsea legend Eden Hazard, is reportedly 'on the radar' of Spurs scouts.
Godts has been in electrifying form this term, contributing seven goals and six assists in just 13 starts for the Dutch giants. He joined Ajax from Genk for a reported €1 million in January 2023 and has rapidly developed into one of Europe's most watched prospects.
Transfer specialist Graeme Bailey notes that Spurs have had officials watch Godts in his last two matches – a win over Feyenoord and a draw with NEC. While Ajax are reluctant to sell, a substantial bid from the Premier League could force their hand, with Tottenham keen to secure a new left-sided winger.
Broader Search for Attacking Reinforcements
These potential moves form part of a wider strategy to bolster Tottenham's forward line. The club has also been linked with moves for players like Antoine Semenyo and Rodrygo, but a deal for Godts is viewed as potentially more straightforward to negotiate.
The January window represents a critical opportunity for Thomas Frank to mould his squad and address the inconsistencies that have plagued their campaign. Securing a proven Premier League asset like Marmoush or a high-ceiling talent like Godts would signal a significant statement of intent from the North London club.
