Transfer News: Tottenham Hotspur could orchestrate swap deal for Tanguy Ndombele and Manchester United ace Anthony Martial
According to the Daily Express (h/t Sports Mole), Tottenham Hotspur are ready to conduct a swap deal involving Tanguy Ndombele and Manchester United forward Anthony Martial.
The Red Devils, who possess the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Jesse Lingard, Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani, and Jadon Sancho, might not be able to provide Anthony Martial with consistent game-time this season.
The Frenchman, who just returned to action last month from injury, has fallen down the pecking order and has so far only started one Premier League game this season.
The Old Trafford outfit have now also been said to be open to letting go of their forward for a fee in the range of £40million, and it looks like they have already found a suitor.
Tottenham Hotspur are said to be open to negotiating a deal for the 25-year-old forward as they are willing to orchestrate a swap deal that will see Martial come to Spurs and Tanguy Ndombele join the Manchester-based club, according to Daily Express.
Ndombele, who joined Spurs for a club-record fee of £53.8million back in 2019, has failed to kick-start his career at the North London club. United were also recently linked with the midfielder as they are said to be eying him as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba.

While this deal could be a possibility, it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils would be open to such a move.
Additionally, there could also be a problem of valuation where either club might overvalue their star, causing complications in a potential swap move. Thus, only time will tell whether this transfer will actually materialize.
