Tottenham Hotspur have again been linked with Manchester United’s Anthony Martial.
Tottenham Hotspur are still sweating over the future of defender Toby Alderwiereld, with the Belgian international looking set to move on this summer due to a disagreement over his contract.
The 29-year-old centre back has starred for Spurs since his 2015 move from Atletico Madrid, but with Daniel Levy unwilling to match his demands both wage-wise and in terms of the length of a deal.
Alderweireld hasn’t played in the Premier League since October, and with Mauricio Pochettino either leaving him out of the side or on the bench, an exit seems almost inevitable.
Manchester United are one team who have been credited with an interest in signing Alderweireld, but striking a deal with Daniel Levy could be difficult – unless the Red Devils have something or somebody that Spurs really want.
RMC Sport have today reported that United forward Anthony Martial is unhappy at Old Trafford and has snubbed a new deal to stay with the club, as he wants to move on and play first-team football elsewhere.
Tottenham are once again being linked with Martial, as they have been regularly since the summer of 2015, and fans have been taking to Twitter to discuss whether a swap deal could be in the offing.
Many believe that landing a talented young forward like Martial would be ideal for Spurs, admitting that they would give up Alderweireld in order to get him, adding him to an already dangerous attack containing Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen, urging Spurs to even spend money plus offering Alderweireld to get him.
However, others don’t want to see Alderweireld join a Premier League rival even if it means signing Martial, and want him to be sold abroad in order for Spurs to recoup a huge fee and spend it elsewhere.
