Jamie O'Hara Urges Tottenham to Pursue Marcus Rashford
Tottenham still lack a top-quality left-sided attacker and wage demands plus Manchester United's stated intent make any Rashford move uncertain.
Overview
- On Aug 13, former Spurs midfielder Jamie O'Hara publicly told Tottenham to sign Marcus Rashford, saying the England forward would suit Roberto De Zerbi and calling him a "brilliant player."
- Sky Sports and other outlets say Tottenham view a left-sided forward as a priority and have been linked with Manchester City's Savinho and Liverpool's Cody Gakpo as alternatives to Rashford.
- Marcus Rashford has returned to Manchester United after a season-long loan at Barcelona in which he scored and assisted heavily, and United manager Michael Carrick has said "he's our player," signalling United may keep him.
- O'Hara and reports flagged Rashford's reported £350,000-a-week wage as a major obstacle, while De Zerbi has hinted at a marquee signing as Spurs weigh their remaining resources after heavy summer spending.
- Separately, Sky Sports reports Djed Spence is close to joining Inter Milan in a deal that could be worth up to £30m, a move that would leave Tottenham needing right-back cover after roughly £237m was spent on six new players this window.
