"Omar Marmoush is not just a good player," Toppmoller expressed during the post-game press conference.

"He possesses the ability to make penetrating runs or slip in close. His versatility is a testament to his greatness on the field. It becomes quite a challenge to contain a player of his caliber," added the Frankfurt coach.

The 25-year-old Egyptian winger continued his remarkable form in the Bundesliga, contributing two goals and two assists in the recent triumph over Holstein Kiel on Sunday.

Marmoush's scoring streak extends over four consecutive games, commencing with his debut goal against Hoffenheim and followed by a brace against his former club, Wolfsburg.

His scoring spree continued with a goal against Borussia Mönchengladbach before his double against Holstein Kiel.

"He is the catalyst for our attacking threat," Toppmoller emphasized. "His ability to score and set up chances makes him a formidable force. His speed and agility make him a nightmare for defenders."

"Whether finishing from range or with close-range precision, his technical prowess and vision are exceptional. His current form is outstanding, and his comfort within the team is evident," the German coach elaborated.

Toppmoller concluded, "His comfort within the squad is pivotal to his recent success. He has seamlessly integrated into the club and become a vital asset for us."

With his brace, Marmoush has ascended to the top of the Bundesliga's leading goal scorers' chart with six goals in five matches, surpassing Bayern Munich's star forward Harry Kane by a single goal.

In the Bundesliga campaign thus far, Marmoush has notched six goals and provided three assists, following his notable transfer to Frankfurt in the summer of 2023 from Wolfsburg on a free transfer.
