Former Manchester United striker Anthony Martial has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
According to Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe, the 28-year-old French international striker has been offered to Tottenham but the North London club are yet to take up the option to sign the player.
Martial is currently a free agent after his contract expired with the Red Devils, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up this summer. The 28-year-old was regarded as a world-class prospect when he arrived at Manchester United, but he never quite managed to fulfil his potential. The French attacker failed to live up to the expectations, and the Red Devils have decided to part ways with him upon the expiry of his contract.
Tottenham are in need of a quality striker and Martial would have been a useful acquisition for them. The French international is capable of operating as a centre-forward as well as a winger. He would have added goals and creativity to the Tottenham attack.
Signing him on a free transfer would have been a low-risk investment for the North London club, but they have decided not to pursue a move for him.
It will be interesting to see if they can bring in a goalscorer this summer. Tottenham are yet to replace Harry Kane adequately and they should look to invest in a reliable attacker before the transfer window closes. The North London club used Son Heung-min as their main striker last season, but the South Korean international thrives in a more creative role.
Tottenham must look to improve their squad if they are serious about challenging for trophies and they will need to plug the gaps in their squad before the window closes.
As for Martial, he remains a quality attacker and it will be interesting to see if he can regain his form and confidence next season. The French international managed to win the English League cup with Manchester United in 2023. He has previously won the UEFA Europa League, Community Shield, FA Cup with the Red Devils as well.
