The 24-year-old achieved a brace against Wolfsburg, Holstein Kiel, and Bayern Munich, bringing his goal tally to 13 goals, just one short of Bayern Munich's English striker Harry Kane.

With Kane sidelined “for the time being.” due to a hamstring injury announced by his club, Marmoush now has the opportunity to surpass him in the goal-scoring charts.

Marmoush opened the scoring in the 22nd minute by converting a well-placed cross from Nathaniel Brown from inside the area.

He then added the third goal two minutes before the hour-mark with a fine strike from distance.

The victory helped Frankfurt solidify their second-place position in the league table with 26 points, trailing leaders Bayern Munich by four points.

Since joining Frankfurt from Stuttgart last summer, the Egyptian forward has delivered stellar performances, becoming one of the standout performers in European football this season.

Numerous reports have suggested that Marmoush has drawn interest from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, who are reportedly eager to secure his services.

Premier League clubs such as Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United have also been strongly linked with a potential move for Marmoush.
