Tottenham Hotspur have been deemed the more likely destination for a big-name England star amid speculation linking him with a move to champions Arsenal.Although Spurs are facing some difficulties in their pursuit of Savinho, the Lilywhites reportedly remain optimistic of striking a deal with Man City for the 22-year-old soon.Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Tottenham will look to sign another winger apart from Savinho this summer, with Roberto De Zerbi keen on multiple reinforcements in the wide areas.It has now been suggested that Spurs may beat their rivals to the signing of a 28-year-old Premier League star, whose future remains up in the air.Photo by Chris Arjoon/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesTottenham deemed more likely to sign Marcus Rashford than ArsenalRashford has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham since the start of the summer, but it has been revealed by several outlets that a deal to bring the England forward to N17 will not be straightforward.Over the last few days, Arsenal have been mooted as a contender to land the Man United star, but Crook believes that he could make a shock switch to their North London rivals instead.The journalist told talkSPORT’s Hawksbee and Jacobs show: “I’m just not sure Marcus Rashford is a Mikel Arteta-type player. If you look at what he’s done, and why Arsenal have been so successful in his tenure, he weeded out the sort of problematic characters from the dressing room, so I’m not sure that he would necessarily welcome Marcus Rashford with open arms.“I think if he goes anywhere in London, I’m keeping an eye on Tottenham. I could see that deal happening, Roberto De Zerbi believing that he can get the best out of Marcus Rashford.”Rashford is not willing to take a wage cutThe forward may be available for a cut-price fee this summer, but the transfer is expected to prove expensive, with Crook stating that Rashford is not willing to take a cut on his £325,000-a-week salary.The journalist added: “When you say a cheap deal, I think probably an offer of £30million will be accepted by Manchester United, but you have to factor in he’s on £325,000 a week at Old Trafford, and doesn’t seem too willing to take a pay cut.”Some sources have said that Tottenham are willing to match Rashford’s current wages, and if that is the case, the 28-year-old will comfortably become the highest-paid player in the club’s squad, overtaking new signing Sandro Tonali.READ MORE: Tottenham working to sign Savinho from Man City for a discounted feeThe post ‘I’m keeping an eye on Tottenham’ – Spurs deemed more likely than Arsenal for £325k star appeared first on Spurs Web.
