Aston Villa have an exceptionally talented group of attacking players, led by the striker partnership of Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran. They are so wealthy in attack at the moment that they can’t get all their players on the pitch, with Duran scoring four Premier League goals without a single start.
Beyond the strikers, Aston Villa also boast another massive breakout star in attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers, as well as wingers Jaden Philogene, Leon Bailey, and the underrated Jacob Ramsey.
The average fan of world football likely overlooks the stars of the Aston Villa attack, but they have one of the most exciting offensive units in European football right now.
Based on the latest transfer rumors, Aston Villa intend to get even richer up front, as they are eyeing a player who has the highest-rated WhoScored rating of any player so far in the 2024/25 season.
According to a report from GiveMeSport.com, Aston Villa are interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush, who is forming a fearsome attacking duo of his own in the Bundesliga alongside French phenom Hugo Ekitike.
Marmoush has been setting the Bundesliga on fire, single-handedly burning Bayern Munich in his most recent outing. Through six league matches, the Egyptian has eight goals and four assists, starting as a striker, attacking midfielder, or left winger.
In addition, Marmoush is creating chances and winning one-on-ones, averaging 2.3 key passes per game with more than 5 combined dribbles completed and fouls drawn per Bundesliga contest.
The versatile forward is in his prime at the age of 25, and his success is far from a fluke. He’s been good for a few years now and had nearly 20 goal contributions last season for Frankfurt.
Now, Marmoush is putting it all together with skills, speed, and upgraded finishing. With Ekitike to play off of, Marmoush is now the favorite to win Bundesliga Player of the Season over more hyped players on Bayern Munich, as his Eagles sit third in the table behind only Bayern and RB Leipzig.
Marmoush is the kind of ascending, exciting, and borderline world-class attacker in his prime whom Aston Villa could affordably sign and should definitely covet. He could be an ideal starter for them on the left wing next to either Watkins or Duran at striker.
