6 Players Tottenham Hotspur Should Sign After The World Cup

Pace, power, vision, skill and technically gifted. Another of Mourinho’s rejects that just cannot catch a break, Martial's big money move was always going to come with high expectations, and on several occasions he has shown the raw talent he has. But it is difficult to show that talent sitting on the bench.

If Spurs can seal the deal to bring Martial to New White Hart Lane, it would be the impact signing that all Tottenham fans are waiting for. A statement of intent. A statement that Spurs are going to win the Premier League title. The advantage to Martial is his ability to play on both wings, or as a striker, which gives cover for Harry Kane, a position that appears to be unfillable up to now.

Spurs fans will not want to see one of the best defenders in the league leave, but Toby Alderweireld appears to be at the end of his Tottenham career. It may be inevitable due to a wage structure dispute. Using Alderweireld as bait to push the deal over the line may be the best course of action, as Manchester United have made it clear they are interested. The deal could even see some cash thrown in as United’s search for a solid defender is nearing the desperate stages.

A change of scenery from a somewhat stagnant Manchester United career may be necessary for Martial to become a permanent fixture in the French national team. There is no doubt that Martial will bring a cutting edge and creativity to take the Tottenham team into sixth gear.
