Tottenham are still aiming to strengthen their attack before the transfer window shuts shop.
Tottenham have done well to address most of the glaring issues in the squad this summer. The Lilywhites have shown ambition in the market, bringing in the likes of Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson, and Marcos Senesi to shore up a leaky defence ahead of the upcoming campaign. Meanwhile, the North Londoners have also strengthened their midfield by signing Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali for significant transfer fees.
However, there are still some areas that need to be improved if the club wants to compete at the top end of the Premier League table. Most notably, the Lilywhites have yet to bring in any attacking reinforcements this summer as we slowly approach the business end of the transfer window. Spurs are linked with several players who could make an instant impact in the final third, but the club has yet to make significant progress on any potential deals in recent days.
The onus now falls on the Lewis family as they look to bolster the attack before the transfer window shuts. Given the ongoing injury crisis at N17, it is important that the North Londoners sign a player who could either operate as an inverted left-winger or as a lone #9 under Roberto de Zerbi’s guidance. Only then will the Lilywhites be able to go toe-to-toe with their Premier League rivals.
Tottenham all set to miss out on Marcus Rashford this summer
Tottenham are hoping to land a few significant names before the transfer window closes in the coming weeks. With under two weeks remaining before the Premier League returns, it is important that the Lilywhites sign new attackers for the upcoming campaign. Recent reports suggest Everton are hoping to bring Richarlison back on a long-term deal. So, it is important that the North Londoners sign his replacement before the Brazilian makes a switch to Merseyside this summer.
Spurs have been heavily linked with Manchester United star Marcus Rashford. The Lilywhites believe the England international would be an ideal fit at N17 after returning from a successful loan spell at Barcelona. Not only that, but the North Londoners are also reportedly pushing for a permanent move for the £325,000 per week 28-year-old, with De Zerbi leading the push for his signature. An offer worth €42m could force the Red Devils to part ways with their academy graduate this summer.
However, there is a new twist in the transfer saga involving the prolific attacker. As per Fabrizio Romano (via X), Marcus Rashford returned to Carrington to meet up with his Manchester United teammates for pre-season this weekend. The England international is leaning towards staying put at Old Trafford for the upcoming campaign. To make matters worse, the Red Devils have also opened the door for the England international to continue under Michael Carrick this season.
This should force Spurs to focus on alternative targets in the market instead. With time running out, it is important that the Lilywhites sign a player who is ready to make an instant impact at N17 under Roberto de Zerbi. Recent reports have linked the North Londoners with Manchester City star Omar Marmoush. Signing the Egypt international could be straightforward, as the player is keen to explore new opportunities in his bid to secure regular game time elsewhere.
