Manchester City have reached an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign striker Omar Marmoush.

 Marmoush, who can operate across the front three, has scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga so far this season, just one behind Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane who sits top of the rankings with 16

The Egypt international agreed in principle to a move to City last week, pending an agreement between the clubs.

Negotiations between the clubs have stepped up since then, with Eintracht demanding around £67.5m (€80m) to part with their prized asset.

Txiki Begiristan, City's departing sporting director, had fresh negotiations with Eintracht on Monday with the two clubs moving a lot closer to agreeing a price for Marmoush

City's offer on Wednesday was believed to be slightly lower than Eintracht's initial demand, in the range of £59m (€70m) fixed, plus £4.2m-£8.4m (€5m-€10m) in add-ons.

Begiristain appears have now made a breakthrough - with City now set to strengthen their attacking options after looking to revitalise their defence by agreeing deals for Palmeiras prospect Vitor Reis and Lens' Abdukodir Khusanov.
