Spurs keen on Rashford as summer transfer plans emerge

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a summer move for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, with multiple reports from British tabloids suggesting preliminary contact has been made regarding a potential transfer. Rashford, 28, has been a key figure at Old Trafford since breaking through as a teenager, but his future has been the subject of speculation after a mixed season that saw him dropped from the starting lineup at various points. The England international has scored 12 goals in 31 Premier League appearances this season, his lowest goal-per-game ratio since his early career. Tottenham, under their new sporting director, have identified Rashford as a primary target to strengthen their attacking options ahead of next season. The north London club believes Rashford's pace and versatility would complement their existing forward line led by Son Heung-min and James Maddison. Manchester United are reportedly open to listening to offers for Rashford, who has two years remaining on his lucrative contract. Sources close to the player suggest he is open to a new challenge after seven seasons with the Red Devils. Tottenham will need to navigate Financial Fair Play regulations and likely offload several players before making a formal bid. The club has already indicated willingness to listen to offers for several fringe players to raise funds.
