Marcus Rashford already works on Premier League return as Tottenham make contact
Tottenham have reached out to Marcus Rashford as the Manchester United forward explores options away from Barcelona.
El Nacional reports on 13 November that the North London outfit have made contact with his agent to explore a potential deal to bring him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs wanted to sign Rashford in the summer, but the England international eventually joined the Blagrana on a season-long loan.
Thomas Frank was subsequently handed the likes of Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons to bolster his attack, but the Lilywhites still have the Man United star on their radar.
Barcelona uncertainty over Marcus Rashford leaves door open for Tottenham
Barcelona aren’t sure whether it’s worth paying the £26.2million buy option for Rashford next summer.
It’s been reported that the Catalan giants are instead obsessed with finding a successor for Robert Lewandowski, leading the Englishman to explore his options.
Chelsea have joined Spurs in making an early approach for the 28-year-old, but it remains to be seen how his situation unfolds.
Rashford has been heavily involved at Barcelona this season due to Raphinha’s injury issues, featuring 16 times already for the LaLiga outfit this season.
Tottenham had to switch focus from Rashford in the summer, but his form may tempt them again after scoring six goals and providing nine assists for the Blaugrana.
The England international seems to have once again found his feet away from Man United, becoming an integral part of Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
Thomas Frank has one evident priority at Spurs
Dominic Solanke’s injury woes have continued at Tottenham, with Frank unable to count on the centre-forward since the end of August.
Richarlison has also put in inconsistent displays for Spurs recently, with Randal Kolo Muani barely having an impact since his loan move from Paris Saint-Germain.
| Player | Matches played | Goals |
| Micky van de Ven | 16 | 6 |
| Joao Palhinha | 18 | 4 |
| Richarlison | 18 | 4 |
| Brennan Johnson | 17 | 4 |
Mathys Tel has played up front on a few occasions, but the former Brentford boss is yet to find his first-choice number nine.
While Rashford would surely add quality at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, their main priority should be signing a new number nine next summer who can lead the line like Harry Kane.
