He is aiming to become the first Egyptian player to win the Bundesliga award for the first time since Mohamed Zidan clinched it in February 2007 during his playing stint at Mainz.
Earlier this week, Marmoush helped Egypt secure their qualification ticket for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in the Ivory Coast with a goal in the Pharaohs’ 4-0 defeat of Malawi.
