Premier League transfer news: Toby Alderweireld, Anthony Martial, Yaya Toure

Alderweireld and Martial could swap clubs
and Toure is willing to play for ‘£1 a week’ to prove Pep Guardiola
wrong

One-Minute Read

The Daily Telegraph reports that the 29-year-old
Belgian international “has an idea” where his future lies, but
added that he has two years left on his Spurs contract and it will
be the club’s decision if he leaves.

While United mull over a bid for Alderweireld, French forward
Anthony Martial could be set for a move in the opposite direction,
says the Daily Mail.

Tottenham will “step up their pursuit” of Martial, 22, and
are preparing to hold talks with United next week.

It’s reported that Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino will
have £100m to spend on new players this summer and the Mail says he
is “prepared to splash a significant percentage of that on
Martial”. 

Toure would play for £1 a week

Yaya Toure’s agent Dimitri Seluk has said the former Manchester
City midfielder would play for £1 a week to “prove Pep Guardiola
wrong”. Toure, who hit out at City boss Guardiola in an interview this week, is willing to take a
dramatic pay cut in order to play for a top-six club. (Manchester Evening News)
