Tottenham striker Omar Marmoush has been fined £220 after his £250,000 McLaren supercar was found uninsured.

Tottenham striker Omar Marmoush has been fined £220 after his McLaren 720S supercar, worth an estimated £250,000, was found to be uninsured and not declared off the road. The 27-year-old Egyptian player was issued with a fixed penalty on 17 June when officials discovered the vehicle's uninsured status. When he failed to pay the penalty, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency brought a full criminal prosecution.

Marmoush was found guilty at Teesside Magistrates' Court on 5 October and ordered to pay £100 in costs and an £88 victim surcharge in addition to the £220 fine. The case was dealt with under the Single Justice Procedure, a fast-track process which allows magistrates to handle certain criminal cases without a conventional court hearing. The DVLA attempted to contact Marmoush at an apartment in Manchester city centre where he had been living before his move to London. He did not enter a plea or respond to the papers sent by the DVLA.

Marmoush joined Tottenham on loan from Manchester City in August, with the loan including an obligation for Spurs to buy him for £60 million at the end of the season. The striker scored 10 goals for Manchester City after joining in January 2025 and was part of Egypt's World Cup squad this summer.
