Spurs Should Sign Rashford, Says Ex-Midfielder O'Hara
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara wants Spurs to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. Speaking on Sky Sports' Tottenham summer special podcast, O'Hara believes Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi is the perfect man-manager for Rashford, whose Man Utd future remains uncertain.
Why It Matters for Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs have spent £237m on six new players this summer, but their most recent signing - the club-record £100m arrival of Sandro Tonali - came over a month ago. It has led to concerns that the club's recruitment drive has stalled, with the forward line still in need of reinforcement ahead of the window closing in just under three weeks.
What Comes Next?
O'Hara said: "I like Savinho. What I've seen of him, there have been bright sparks. It hasn't massively worked for him at Manchester City, but he's obviously a talented player. "I like Gakpo, but the problem with him is he maybe needs four or five chances to score one, but he has got something about him. I wouldn't be disappointed in the signing - he's a player who I wouldn't mind. "I just don't know why we don't go for Marcus Rashford. I really think that Spurs should just go, how much do you want? How much can we get him for? "I know he's on £350,000 a week, and obviously Spurs potentially can't afford that, but he's such a brilliant player. "If you get him at it with a point to prove, I just think he's still one of the best players around. "If he stays at Man Utd, I think he'll play, so I just don't know why we've not been interested in him."
De Zerbi Can Get Best Out of Rashford
Rashford has returned to the Man Utd squad, having spent last season on loan at Barcelona, who opted against signing him despite scoring 14 goals and providing 14 assists in 47 appearances as they won LaLiga. O'Hara feels the 28-year-old would fit the "bomba" signing De Zerbi teased last month, with it understood the Italian wants to sign at least one wide attacker in the final weeks of the summer window.
League Standing
Tottenham Hotspur are currently 17th in the Premier League, with 41 points from 38 games, and are 44 points behind leaders Arsenal. They have scored 48 goals and conceded 57 this season, with a goal difference of -9. The forward line is still in need of reinforcement, with Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons, Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, and Mohammed Kudus currently sidelined.
