Anthony Martial (5)

According to AS, Tottenham Hotspur are targeting Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic; whilst The Metro report that Manchester United’s Anthony Martial has dismissed reports linking him with a summer transfer to PSG. 

The Croatian international sealed a transfer to the Bernabeu from Inter Milan last summer and was one of Rafa Benitez’ few first-team signings during his short stint as Los Blancos manager alongside right-back Danilo.

But the 21-year-old has gone on to make just seven starts in La Liga and has found himself behind Casemiro in the defensive midfield pecking order since Zinedine Zidane took the managerial reins from Benitez at the start of 2016.

AS, citing Calcio Mercato, claim that could well result in a summer transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, who are avid admirers of the prodigious playmaker. But a move to Sevilla is also a possibility and Kovacic will decide his future based on game-time rather than financial rewards.

Meanwhile, Anthony Martial has dismissed reports that emerged from the French media last week, speculating a shock summer transfer to PSG following an impressive debut season at Manchester United.

The French champions look set to part with strike duo Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic during the summer transfer window and Le10Sport claim the 20-year-old – who has bagged seven goals and three assists in 24 Premier League appearances this season – is being lined up as a potential replacement.

But the France international has insisted he’ll be at Old Trafford for next season, telling reporters; “They (United) are not at the top of the top, but I hope next year they will be. I think I could have done better (with my finishing), there were some chances that I missed but I think next year it will be much better.”
