His potential availability at a relatively modest price because of his contract situation could also make him a particularly attractive proposition if Tottenham do not want to commit another huge sum to their attack.

Marmoush, meanwhile, provides a completely different proposition.

The 27-year-old can operate as a central striker while also drifting into wide areas, giving De Zerbi greater freedom to rotate his attacking players during matches.

His explosive acceleration, movement in behind and ability to create chances independently make him particularly suited to a fluid attacking system.

That versatility could become even more valuable if Tottenham complete their pursuit of Savinho.
