• Egyptian has 13 Bundesliga goals so far this season
• Frankfurt may be reluctant to lose No 9 this month

Manchester City are targeting Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush to bolster Pep Guardiola’s forward line, though signing him this month will be difficult owing to the Bundesliga club’s challenge for a Champions League place.

Frankfurt are third, in the final automatic qualification berth, having played only once in Europe’s premier club competition since 1960 – two seasons ago.
