Tottenham are hoping to bring in attacking reinforcements before the transfer window ends in the coming weeks. Tottenham have done well to back Roberto de Zerbi during the summer transfer window. The Italian tactician did an excellent job of saving the Lilywhites from relegation last season, making an instant impact at N17 after arriving during the business end of the campaign. The least he deserved was strong backing in the transfer market this summer as the North Londoners look to compete at the top end of the Premier League table for the first time in two years. Spurs have recruited well in recent weeks, which is not something that has often been said in recent years. They have overhauled a leaky defence by signing the likes of Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, and Andy Robertson during the opening weeks of the transfer window. On the other hand, the Lilywhites have also addressed their glaring issues in midfield by bringing in Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes for substantial transfer fees. With just under four weeks remaining in the transfer window, fans will be hoping the North Londoners still have a few more signings to make. It is important that Spurs strengthen their attack in the coming weeks as they prepare to go toe-to-toe with their rivals over the coming months. With Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert still recovering from their ACL injuries, the Lilywhites need to bring in a quality replacement capable of competing for a place in Roberto de Zerbi’s starting eleven. Tottenham face competition to complete the signing of Marcus Rashford It comes as no surprise that Tottenham are looking to strengthen their attack before the transfer window shuts. Prolific forward Richarlison has been linked with a potential exit from N17 in the coming weeks, forcing the Lilywhites to identify players capable of replacing the Brazilian should he decide to head for the exit doors at Hotspur Way. Recent reports have linked Spurs with Manchester United star Marcus Rashford. The North Londoners believe the England international would be an ideal fit at N17 under Roberto de Zerbi. Not only that, but the Lilywhites are also prepared to pursue a permanent move for the 28-year-old, with De Zerbi leading the push for his signature. It is believed that an offer worth €42m would be enough to lure Rashford away from Old Trafford before the transfer window closes in a few weeks’ time. Spurs, however, would need to act quickly if they are to sign Marcus Rashford in the coming weeks. As per The Sun, Fenerbahce are also willing to compete with the Lilywhites for his signature as they look to strengthen their attack ahead of the upcoming season. The Turkish giants are reportedly prepared to break the bank for the England international if they receive the green light from Rashford over a potential move to the Super Lig. Should Tottenham get in a transfer battle for Marcus Rashford? From a footballing perspective, signing Marcus Rashford should be a no-brainer for Spurs. The 28-year-old has plenty of experience under his belt thanks to his spells at Manchester United, Barcelona, and Aston Villa. Not only that, but the England international is capable of playing both as an inverted left-winger and as an out-and-out striker. He can beat defenders with ease and is clinical in front of goal, making him an excellent addition ahead of the new season. However, it is also important to note that Spurs would need to break their wage structure to afford Rashford this summer. The England international currently earns £325,000-a-week at Old Trafford, making it difficult for the Lilywhites to meet his salary demands if he decides to move to N17 in the coming weeks. As a result, it would be wise for the North Londoners to start exploring alternative targets in the transfer market instead.
