If Tottenham cannot sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace should they instead target Manchester United’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan?
Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace celebrates victory after the Premier League match against Leicester City.
It is looking increasingly unlikely that Tottenham Hotspur will sign Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha as the Mirror report Manchester City have now joined Arsenal and Chelsea in the race for his signature.
Football.london are one of the latest publications to suggest that Spurs are interested in Zaha, but with competition so fierce it could be a struggle for the North Londoners to win the battle.
Manchester United’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan controls the ball during the English Premier League football match against Brighton and Hove Albion.
Therefore should Tottenham consider turning their attention to Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan instead – who has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford in recent times?
According to the Daily Mail, the Red Devils are looking for offers in excess of £35m for Mkhitaryan after Jose Mourinho admitted that every player had their price.
Mauricio Pochettino, manager of Tottenham Hotspur, looks on prior to the Premier League match against Manchester City.
The 28-year-old has the ability to operate in a 3-4-3 system that Mauricio Pochettino favours and could flank striker Harry Kane in one of the attacking midfield roles.
This would help ease the reliance on Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen and even though Mourinho no longer seems to be a fan, Mkhitaryan has previously been considered one of the best players in his position in Europe.
