Manchester City have spent £59m on Omar Marmoush and it’s little wonder; they are desperate for another finisher.
We’ve tasted the five most productive European leagues, which means there’s no more sensible scorer 2025 Viktor Gyokerres, his figures put him to the aid of Matheus Cunha here, and the players who have the biggest differential between the goals they deserve to have scored and their steps and their steps and their true genuine steps.
Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski scored more league objectives than Marmoush in 2024/25, but two of this quartet have a lower performance in their XG, while Salah is close to hitting after a start until 2025. Kane scored 16 aim at thirteen XG, however, these figures are mediocre compared to the new city of 59 million pounds sterling that signed Marmoush.
As a comparison, the Egyptian has obtained 15 objectives from the Bundesliga, the possibilities that Kai Hvertz and Kai Hertz have been returned to the Premier League for Arsenal. And Kai Havertz did not get 15 goals.

Newcastle United are among several clubs reported to be interested in Mbeumo, who has had a phenomenal season for Brentford. He is said to be one of four strikers who Manchester United may well target in this January window, along with another player on this list.
The Newcastle link is an interesting one; Mbeumo has scored 13 from an xG of 6.8, while Anthony Gordon has scored six goals from an xG of 7.2. Maths fans, you can see who has been the better finisher this season.
Linked to Arsenal this week as a pick for Gyokerres and Benjamin Sesko is Thuram, whose targets have indeed dried up in recent weeks, however, he has already matched last season’s series of thirteen targets. Not bad for a player who receives penalties.
He scored with 31% of his shots. Dominic Solanke and Hvertz had a more important point of opportunities. It is a phenomenon. We asked ourselves if Pep Guardiola thought like him for a minutery.
This is why Wolves are summoning the suitors £80m knowing that it is their most productive chance of survival and if they are forced to sell, in the Arsenal or Nottingham forest, they need to be able to upgrade it with 3 or four players.
Dominik Szoboszlai had two chances of value.
Scored seven goals for Genoa last season, moved to Atalanta for less than £20m and has this season scored a Serie A goal every 76 minutes to top the scorers chart ahead of Thuram. We give him until the end of the season before he is linked with Arsenal.
Yes, Sandro Ramírez, who did not get objectives in 8 Premier League games for Everton. No, it makes no sense.
Manchester United are said to be ‘seriously interested’ in the former Manchester City youngster, who is also of interest to Chelsea. If he has been watching Jadon Sancho closely, he will skip the Red part.
He scored with 32% of his shots this season, which is larger than even Chris Wood. His age, an old football 29, means that he is not on the radar of many super European clubs, which is probably the right news for Xabi Alonso, who appreciated the unforeseen bonus of a charming Schick form in the absence of Victor Bonifacio injured.
It is still unexpected that Leicester City has paid 30 million pounds sterling for Pérez five years ago. But not as unexpected as Pérez Marking 8 AEMS La Liga this season despite only seven games for a team that fights for a position in the Champions League.
