Adam Lallana is emerging as a top summer target for Tottenham and Manchester United, report the Sunday People's Dean Jones and Steve Bates.

Lallana’s name was handed to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy by boss Tim Sherwood on a list of potential buys.

And Sunday People Sport understands Spurs will pursue Southampton’s attacking midfield player even if Sherwood leaves his current role, with Louis van Gaal tipped to take over.

United boss David Moyes – already closing in on Saints defender Luke Shaw – is also in the hunt for Lallana, 25.

Moyes is looking for fresh midfield talent, and Lallana fits the bill.

He has excelled this season and may even be included in Roy Hodgson’s starting line-up at the World Cup.

Saints are playing down the chances of this season’s top performers leaving the club, but are realistic enough to realise they will have to fight off suitors.

After the unimpressive impact of last summer’s big overseas signings, Spurs are targeting experienced Premier League talent. Tottenham’s director of football, Franco Baldini, has also endorsed Sherwood’s view of Lallana.
