"This is a day I will never forget. To sign for Manchester City -- one of the best teams in the world -- is an amazing feeling," Marmoush said. "I am delighted, my family are so proud, and we are all very happy to be here in Manchester."

The agreement reportedly includes potential additional payments of £4.2 million based on performance-related bonuses.

City's Director of football, Txiki Begiristain, said: "He's had an outstanding season, and every time we have watched him, he has influenced matches."

"He has all the attributes a top-class attacker requires. He has outstanding pace and awareness, and he is exceptional in front of goal. He can also play a number of different positions, which is a really valuable asset."

This transfer marks City's third recruitment of the January window, following their earlier acquisitions of defensive players Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis.
