Tottenham Hotspur’s ambitious summer recruitment drive appears far from complete. According to iNews, Marcus Rashford has emerged as the latest high profile target for Roberto De Zerbi’s side as Spurs continue to strengthen following an impressive campaign.
Having already secured Jan Paul van Hecke and tested Newcastle United’s resolve with an £80 million bid for Sandro Tonali, Tottenham are prioritising proven Premier League quality. Rashford certainly fits that profile.

Rashford Preference Creates Complication
While Tottenham admire the player, Rashford’s current preference lies elsewhere.
“At this stage, Rashford’s preference would be to move abroad again, preferably back to Barcelona, or to Bayern Munich.”

That stance narrows the available pathways and could increase the appeal of alternatives.
