TOTTENHAM will make a move for Anthony Martial to provide Harry Kane a helping hand in attack, according to reports.
Boss Mauricio Pochettino previously landed backup centre-forwards Fernando Llorente and Vincent Janssen who have scored just three league goals between them over two seasons.
But now the Argentine is ready to change his transfer philosophy and sign an attacking player who can play on the wing or in the No10 position.
It comes with Pochettino having struggled to land a striker good enough to play second fiddle to Kane.
According to the London Evening Standard, Martial is high among his transfer targets this summer as he aims to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title.
Martial, who came off the bench in United’s FA Cup final defeat, is thought to be unhappy with life at Old Trafford.
And boss Jose Mourinho could consider cashing in if they receive an offer in the region of £70million as SunSport exclusively revealed.
The French winger’s reps are expected to hold talks with the club before the end of the month over his uncertain future.

Martial struggled to fit into Mourinho’s first-team plans before the arrival of Alexis Sanchez in January.
The Chilean’s arrival meant that he is competing for places alongside the ex-Arsenal man, Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford and Juan Mata.

Martial’s snub from France’s World Cup squad could also whet his appetite for further first team football.
He started just half of United’s Premier League matches scoring nine goals and knows a move to London will give him the opportunity to become a key man at Spurs.
Tottenham now need to flog both Janssen and Llorente in the summer which could be easier said than done.
