There has been speculation over Martial’s future for much of the season as he has failed to hold down a regular first-team place under United boss Jose Mourinho.

The Mirror also say Spurs will have to pay £5m to sign back-up keeper Pau Lopez on a permanent basis.

Lopez is on a season-long loan from Espanyol and has not made a first-team appearance since his arrival in England.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are in talks to sign Monaco’s Fabinho, again according to the Mirror.

The 23-year-old, who can play at full-back or in midfield, is apparently rated at more than £35m.

Manchester United have also been linked with Fabinho, whose father recently suggested to French television that his son would favour a move to Manchester City.

The player’s father has also claimed that there has been interest from Barcelona ahead of a possible summer move.

“We have been in talks with Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and approached by Barcelona,” he said.

“We like Manchester United and Mourinho’s work, but we have a soft spot for Manchester City.”
