Tottenham Hotspur reportedly are keen on snapping up the Sporting Lisbon man, who Cristiano Ronaldo is a big fan of.

According to the Dario Gol, Cristiano Ronaldo has urged Real Madrid to sign Gelson Martins, which shows how exciting an addition he could be for Tottenham Hotspur.

Ronaldo was reportedly so impressed with Martins on international duty, that he returned to Madrid and urged them to snap up the wide-man in 2017.

As of yet Madrid have not acted on Ronaldo’s wishes, and Tottenham Hotspur may now beat them to the punch.

According to the Daily Mirror, Spurs are set to make a move to snap up Martins from Sporting Lisbon in the summer transfer window.

And Ronaldo’s desire to get Madrid to sign Martins, should tell Spurs fans how appealing an addition Martins could be.

The rapid winger has been a star for Sporting this season, with his performances attracting a great deal of attention.

If Martins was to arrive at Spurs, he would offer Mauricio Pochettino’s side a great deal of pace and trickery from the flank.

Spurs have lacked some depth to their squad at times this season, but Martins’ arrival would give Pochettino one of the most exciting attacks to pick from in world football.

And Spurs supporters should be excited with the potential of seeing Martins in action next term.
