Omar Marmoush has undoubtedly been one of the standout players in the Bundesliga this season, leading the scoring charts alongside Harry Kane with 11 goals.

The 25-year-old established himself as a key player for Eintracht last season following his move from Wolfsburg, finishing the campaign with 12 Bundesliga goals, but has become even more prolific this term.

Reflecting on Marmoush's form after watching the Egypt international score a wonderful free-kick in Sunday's 3-2 win over Stuttgart, Eintracht's board member for sport Markus Krösche told Fussball.news:

“Omar has a very good shooting technique. That's the result of hard training and the self-confidence you need. He's also found a rhythm. He wasn't playing regularly at Wolfsburg. Then he came to us and played practically 90 minutes every game. That mixture of rhythm and playing time is very important.

"I have to pinch myself and say that things are going really well for Omar at the moment," Krösche admitted.

Eintracht have generally impressed this season, leading to many rumors about their star players, including Marmoush. 

However, Krösche is not keen on making too many changes to the squad before the summer.

"Like other clubs, we have to generate transfer income. And if a club comes along and pays what we want, we are always open to selling a player. But right now we want to play successful football. Our goal is to keep the team together until the summer," he said.
