It certainly wasn&#8217;t Randall Kolo Muani, and the injured duo of Xavi Simmons and Mohamed Kudus also had impressive seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs need goals, not just from their centre-forwards (though even that has proven difficult).<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why the Londoners have been approached by Manchester United to sign Marcus Rashford now that the title-winning winger&#8217;s loan with Barcelona has ended, according to reports in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>    Rashford is currently reluctant to join Spurs, but that could change as time progresses unless suitors such as Barcelona take the bait. He is valued at \u00a326 million, which is a reasonable price and Arsenal are also interested.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona have signed Anthony Gordon from Newcastle for \u00a369m, but are also reportedly considering signing Rashford on a permanent deal.

It doesn&#8217;t matter, but the legendary forward hailed Rashford as &#8220;one of the best wingers in the world&#8221; when he was at his best.<\/p>\n<p>Rashford hasn&#8217;t always been at his best, but he certainly rediscovered his form in Spain, scoring 14 goals and providing 14 assists in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>For Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe 28-year-old dismantled Newcastle at St James&#8217; Park. He reminded English football that it was capable of surprising and surpassing the world-class talent touching the same turf.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, Rashford has the potential to eclipse the influence of the likes of Kudus and Lucas Moura and establish himself as Tottenham&#8217;s best winger since Son joined the club from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 for around \u00a322m.<\/p>\n<p>One would hope that De Zerbi&#8217;s attack-minded, possession-based style creates better form for Rashford in front of goal. He only scored six goals in the Premier League last season, but if Spurs can produce a stable and fluent system next year, this could be exceptional business.<\/p>\n<p>    Even if Rashford arrives this summer, he won&#8217;t have the same legacy for Spurs as Son, but he will have the chance to produce a campaign on par with one of South Korea&#8217;s best players.<\/p>\n<p>Rashford has twice scored 17 goals in a season in the top flight for Man United. Like Son, who shared the Golden Boot award with 23 goals in 2021\/22, he is yet to cross the 20-goal mark, but this remains a shining example of the England international&#8217;s ability to dazzle on a major stage.<\/p>\n<p>Whether he will do so remains to be seen. But if De Zerbi can capture the form that revived Rashford&#8217;s career in Spain, fans could be treated to a talent like Son next year, someone who can lead the club back into momentum after their most difficult campaign yet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                              \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"better-than-palhinha-spurs-in-talks-to-sign-nico-gonzalez\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<p>                        <\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hes_better_than_Parinha_Spurs_in_contract_talks_with_%E2%80%98mini_Rodri\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tHe&#8217;s better than Parinha: Spurs in contract talks with &#8216;mini Rodri&#8217;<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Tottenham Hotspur have stepped up their efforts in the transfer market in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now, if a few things had gone a little differently, Tottenham Hotspur could be preparing for their first season in England&#8217;s second tier for nearly 50 years.
