Tottenham are still on the hunt for a new versatile attacker this summer under Roberto De Zerbi. Tottenham have sleepwalked through the second half of the ongoing transfer window. The Lilywhites made a strong start by acting quickly to bring in top-quality players during the opening few weeks of the summer. They managed to outspend every other Premier League club during that period and appeared on course to complete their squad rebuild before the new season. However, things have not gone according to plan for the North Londoners, largely due to delays in negotiations with several of their targets. It is important that Spurs bring in a new attacker who could make an immediate impact at N17 under Roberto De Zerbi. With the new season set to commence next weekend, the Lilywhites will be keen to back the Italian tactician during the business end of the transfer window by making a statement signing. Bringing in a new forward could go a long way towards ensuring the North Londoners compete at the top end of the Premier League table. The onus now falls on the Lewis family to do everything they can to sign a player who could potentially displace Dominic Solanke in the starting eleven. The England international has been heavily linked with a move to Nottingham Forest as he looks to reignite his career elsewhere. Therefore, it is crucial for Spurs to bring in a new face who can make a meaningful contribution in the final third of the pitch. Tottenham asked to pursue a deal for Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford It comes as no surprise that Tottenham are hoping to bolster their attack during the final few weeks of the transfer window. Recent reports have linked the Lilywhites with £325,000 per week Manchester United star Marcus Rashford. Despite being integrated into the first team by Michael Carrick during pre-season, the England international remains available in the market for the right price. The decision now rests with the North Londoners as they weigh up their options in their search for a new attacker. Jamie O’Hara, however, has urged Spurs to consider a deal for Marcus Rashford in the coming days. Speaking on talkSPORT, O’Hara said, “I don’t know why we haven’t gone for Marcus Rashford. I’m a fan and I always have been. For me, he’s electric and he’s a top player. I know the issue is wages but you get him for a snippet of what he’s probably worth for €30m. He answers all our problems on the left wing.” The pundit added, “And he can play centre forward. Plus he’s got a point to prove. I think Man United will happily let him go. I don’t know why we’ve not tried to make a deal happen. I think it’s the perfect deal and the perfect time to get Marcus Rashford at your football club.” Jamie O’Hara strongly believes Marcus Rashford could be the answer to all the problems Spurs are facing in attack. The England international can play either as an inverted left-winger or as a lone #9, showcasing his tactical flexibility. The 28-year-old is also available for €30m and has an opportunity to reignite his career in the Premier League at N17. Not only that, but Manchester United are also open to letting the prolific attacker leave if the right offer comes their way. However, Spurs are focusing on alternative targets instead as they look to address their attacking issues before the new season commences. Recent reports suggest that the Lilywhites are on the verge of completing a deal for Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo. The Dutchman is set to join on a long-term deal, with Roberto De Zerbi seemingly keen to reignite his career at N17 by utilising him up front or on the left flank.
