Spurs summer transfer targets – Part 2

Anthony Martial

Here’s where Pochettino and our new head of recruitment Paul Mitchell could really earn their salt. Martial is the latest bright young shiny talent to come out of France and his potential has been compared to that of Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba. High praise indeed. Martial thrives on balls through the defence and then relies on his pace to leave the defence in his dust. His finishing, while not yet perfect, is also one of his striking attributes. At 19, Martial’s potential is massive. However, at a quoted €25million, he also represents significant risk. Spurs need additions that can contribute immediately, can Martial promise this?
