Marmoush has Frankfurt flying and Europe elites on high alert

At Wolfsburg, Marmoush initially struggled for consistency and game time, resulting in loans to St Pauli and Stuttgart.

He also struggled to adapt to life in Germany.

Unable to speak German, Marmoush recalls standing near the counter at coffee shops and waiting until he saw the order he wanted, before pointing and telling the waiter he wanted the same.

Marmoush's agent told AFP these initial struggles laid a foundation for his achievements.

"Marmoush's command of German, French and English has greatly contributed to his success. He is thriving at Eintracht Frankfurt," said Ahmed Abdoun.

"The Bundesliga has always been a stepping stone to the big leagues like the Premier League or La Liga. If there are any offers, we will discuss them with the club and make the best decision."

No 'new Salah'

In 2021, the same year he made his Wolfsburg first team debut, Marmoush — who was also eligible to play for Canada through his father — received his first Egypt call up.

Making his international debut alongside Liverpool superstar Salah, Marmoush scored the winning goal against Libya in AFCON qualifying.
