Tottenham could make a statement by signing Marcus Rashford this summer.
Tottenham need fresh faces to kick off the Thomas Frank era in North London, and Rashford would represent a marquee arrival.
The Englishman burst onto the scene as a teenager at Manchester United and has since been mentioned in the same breath as some of the Premier League’s best players.
However, the winger has yet to live up to his full potential and, after a disappointing couple of years at United, was loaned out to Aston Villa for the second half of the 2024/25 season.
Rashford is no longer in Ruben Amorim’s plans, and Tottenham could be the perfect destination for the 27-year-old to get his career back on track.

Barcelona ruled out signing Rashford
Rashford is reportedly keen on a move to Barcelona. His desire is so strong that it has even been suggested that he would be willing to accept a wage cut to leave United.
However, as reported by Diario AS on Saturday (5 July), Rashford is not considered a priority for Hansi Flick or Deco, and the file has been dismissed.
This comes as the Balugrana club have decided to ramp up their efforts to sign Liverpool forward Luis Díaz after Nico Williams extended at Athletic Club.
The report states that United would be willing to part with Rashford for a “modest” £34.5million fee that could convince Tottenham to accelerate his signing.
Indeed, now that Barcelona are out of the running, the former Villa winger could consider staying in England, and with UEFA Champions League football on offer, Tottenham could convince Rashford to move to North London.
Rashford could thrive at Tottenham
Rashford is the kind of talent that few clubs would let pass by if allowed to sign him.
While he has struggled to get back to his best, glimpses of the player he could be were on show when at Villa. This could indicate that in the right environment and under the right manager, the Englishman still has plenty to offer.
Therefore, there is every possibility that Tottenham will not be disappointed if they sign Rashford this summer.
