Tottenham Hotspur’s striker Heung-Min Son is now said to be on Manchester United’s radar.

Tottenham Hotspur should consider trading Heung-Min Son for Manchester United’s Anthony Martial, after Sport 1 reported Jose Mourinho’s side’s interest in the attacker.

United are said to be shock contenders for Son this summer, and that could give Tottenham another avenue to explore as they attempt to bring in Martial.

The London Evening Standard have reported how Martial is Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino’s top target this summer, but his £70 million price-tag (Daily Star) means that getting a deal done is tough.

Negotiations with United have been difficult so far this summer, with Toby Alderweireld the man Spurs have potentially previously tried to trade.

ESPN have reported how United aren’t interested in swapping Martial for Alderweireld, but it may be a different case with Son.

Martial would have been in competition for a place at Tottenham with Son, so neither side would have to sign a replacement.

And the trade could leave both United and Tottenham satisfied, as they would both land their targets this summer.
