Tottenham are football‘scraping around’ if they sign Rashford as ex-scout slams lack of loyalty
Ciaran McCarthy A former Tottenham scout has changed his tune on Marcus Rashford
Former Tottenham scout Bryan King has suggested Spurs are “scraping around for players” amid links to Marcus Rashford, who he wouldn’t sign given a lack of loyalty.
Spurs have been linked with Rashfordof late. They are one of a few clubs with links, but given their Premier League status, are one of the most intriguing.
Given the uncertainty over whether Rashford will sign permanently with Barcelona in the summer – having had a direct hand in 17 goals so far this term on loan – there seems a chance Tottenhamor other sides could land him.
But after he decided against staying at Aston Villa, having had success in half a season on loan there last term, Spurs have been urged against the signing, by former scout King.
He told Tottenham News: “I wouldn’t have him. For me, he’s too similar to Richarlison or Dominic Solanke.
“They need a new centre-forward, but I’m not sure he’s the man for Tottenham.?He should have stayed at Villa.
“I think he had a good season there, but why he never thanked them and stayed there, I don’t know. Where’s his loyalty? Is he going to show that to Tottenham?
“They’ve spent £165m on forwards, [Mathys] Tel, [Dominic] Solanke and Richarlison, and they still haven’t got a centre-forward.?I don’t think Rashford is the answer. They’re scraping around for players.”

It’s an interesting pivot from King, who on November 25 was advocating for the signing of Rashford.
He said then: “Of course, if he’s available. There are only so many strikers you can have. I think it would be decent value for any Premier League club. To get someone with the experience that he’s had for £26m would be great.
“There’d be no danger to the deal as well. He’s a good player, but it’s about getting him in the right frame of mind, that’s the only worry.
“I would have thought £26m isn’t a bad amount to spend on a player of his quality.”
Yes, Rashford has only assisted once since then and hasn’t scored, but that’s hardly enough of a reason for the view to change so drastically in just a few games.
Having got back to being a big success, Rashford would surely thrive in most top-flight teams, no matter what country they are in.
