Tottenham's £14m Nicolo Zaniolo alternative as Man Utd starlet for sale with Erik ten Hag clear-out

Tottenham have found a cheap solution to their midfielder search. With the pursuit of Nicolo Zaniolo stalling as Roma play hard-ball over the Italian's sale, attention could turn back to one of their previous targets.

With Manchester United looking to clear-out some of their current midfielders to accommodate for the expected arrival of Adrien Rabiot, 21-year-old starlet James Garner is now up for permanent move away from Old Trafford. He spent last season on-loan at Nottingham Forest, helping them to promotion and he made a big impact at the County Ground, playing 41 times in the league for Steve Cooper's side.

Although Paul Pogba has left Erik ten Hag's squad this summer, the midfield is still an area that the club want to reinforce and Garner, who has been an unused substitute for of the opening two league defeats, isn't seen as a completely viable answer to the deeper issues in Manchester.
