Spurs give Pochettino green light to pursue Manchester United attacker

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly given Mauricio Pochettino the go-ahead to make a summer approach for Anthony Martial.

The France international is said to be considering his Manchester United future after falling out of contention under Jose Mourinho in the backend of the season.

According to The Mirror, Spurs hierarchy will back Pochettino to sign his top-three summer targets, now that he has committed his future to the club until 2023.

Martial is presently the prime target to bolster the club's attack but on top of this, chairman Daniel Levy is prepared to offer additional funds to bring in Ajax's Matthijs de Ligt and Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon to bolster the backline.

De Ligt has been a huge success since graduating through the Ajax academy and he has managed to make his Netherlands debut at the age of just 18.

Sessegnon, on the other hand, is regarded as the next big thing in English football and he was most recently nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award.
