Tottenham Shouldn’t Sign Anthony Martial – Alan Hutton

Tottenham striker, Harry Kane could leave the club before the end of the transfer window, Alan Hutton has said. He recently revealed that Spurs must start thinking about a suitable replacement before the dying stages of the window.

According to him, it is very important for Spurs to go for a player with EPL experience, but he just doesn’t think Martial is that man.

He added that Tottenham tying Son down to a new contract is a very wise move because he is a reliable player.

His words, “It’s a good question. Ideally, I think you would want that experience in the Premier League, a proven goalscorer.”

“Is Martial the right person? Not for me, I don’t think. I think they might look foreign – with Paratici there, he knows those markets in Serie A. They might go that way.”

“One of the biggest things has been holding on to Son and seeing him sign that new contract. That’s brilliant for Tottenham. They know they can rely on him, he is going to score goals. If they can bring someone in to partner him, I think that could be a good option.”

“He’s definitely that player that has got that aura about him, that people look to the way they did with Kane – when Kane was injured they would look to Son and be like ‘you’re the man now, you need to come up with the goods’.”

“He is the new talisman if Kane goes. It looks to me as though a lot of the squad look to him to do something. When they need a bit of magic, he is their go-to man. Moving forward, if it is him, he will be their main player this season.”
