Tottenham are closing in on the signing of Monaco striker Anthony Martial after reportedly making a £15.8million bid for his services.

Martial is rated as one of the best young strikers in the world but the 18-year-old has found first-team chances limited at Monaco.

Wolfsburg have been linked with a move for him but reports in France say Spurs have made a £15.8million offer and are now confident of luring him to White Hart Lane.

He is believed to be concerned that his development is stalling at Monaco and a switch to Tottenham, who are building an exciting young squad, would be ideal.




A fast, strong striker known for his clinical finishing, Martial has been dubbed the new Thierry Henry in the past.
