The Bianconeri are also said to be considering a move for Martial to strengthen their attacking options.

The club had wanted to sign former West Ham star Felipe Anderson once his contract expired at Lazio.

He is said to be on £240,000-a-week which could be too much for Juventus.

The forward could get Ange Postecoglou a more direct option in his attack should he move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The manager currently has Heung-min Son, Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski in his attack.

Martial could take up a spot as a more traditional striker but would also be another option on the wing.

He has struggled this season at Man United for fitness and has only featured 13 times in the Premier League.

In total, Martial has played 19 times in all competitions, scoring two goals.
