Tottenham Hotspur reportedly planning surprise signing coup manchester united Anthony Martial, sidelined this summer, according to the Italian media TuttoSport.
After cashing in on Harry Kane last summer, Spurs have not signed anyone to replace the Englishman. But it has been suggested that the Lilywhites could look to sign a new centre-forward in the next window to bolster their front line.
Ivan Toney, Santiago Gimenez and Mohamed Amoura have all been linked with a move to the newly refurbished White Hart Lane, but Martial now looks like a serious target.
The Frenchman joined the Red Devils from AS Monaco back in 2015 with a reputation as one of the best young talents in the world. He even showed flashes of his qualities during the early stages of his Man Utd career.
However, he failed to develop his career at Old Trafford and, as a result, never managed to reach his full potential. Now, with his contract expiring at the end of this season, he will leave United as a free agent this summer.
Martial to Tottenham
By quoting and translating the printed version of TuttoSport, sports witness has reported that Juventus are planning to sign the 28-year-old in the off-season, but the player's £5m-a-year wage demand could be an obstacle to the Bianconeri securing any potential deal for him.
The report further claims that Tottenham have also expressed their interest in signing the attacker and that they are ready to go head to head with Juventus over this deal this summer.
TuttoSport He also claims that Martial's salary demand will not be a problem for Spurs, so they could secure his service in the coming years. transfer window.
Martial: valued at around £9 million per Transfer market – is a versatile player, as he can play both in the center forward position and in the left back position. He is a very talented player and could be a good acquisition for the Spurs to strengthen their first line if they buy him.
However, the Manchester United star has had injury problems in recent years and as a result never managed to play regularly for the Red Devils. Furthermore, the Frenchman is not the best option to play in Ange Postecoglou's high-pressure system, as his non-possession work rate is not up to par to thrive in this system. Therefore, it is a bit surprising that Tottenham have expressed their interest in signing Martial to reinforce their first line.
