Real Madrid have not been in their best of forms this season. Following an impressive campaign last season, and the season before, the Spanish giants have stuttered in the Laliga so far. Trailing league leaders by a whopping seven points, Real Madrid’s lack of transfer activity in the summer is haunting them as it seems.
However, Los Blancos do look very committed to bringing in new faces next summer, as they attempt to further strengthen their team once again next summer. There have been quite a lot of names popping up in recent weeks, but quite surprisingly, Real Madrid were linked with a few English players as well, in recent weeks.
Harry Kane, Dele Alli and most recently, Marcus Rashford are all linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer. In this article, we will discuss English players should Real Madrid attempt to sign first.
Marcus Rashford
Rashford has been the most recent player to be linked with Real Madrid, and quite surprisingly as well. The Manchester United whizkid showed his glimpses this season, mostly from the bench.
Rashford has scored an impressive five goals and provided four assists in just 12 competitive games this season.
However, looking at their current situation, Real Madrid really doesn’t need the services of the Manchester United youngster at the moment. Los Blancos already have the likes of Lucas Vazquez and Borja Mayoral who can effectively fill into the depth chart of Real Madrid.
And considering the fact that the youngster already has a contract with United which runs until 2020, it would cost a fortune for Real Madrid to prise away the Manchester United starlet.
Dele Alli
Dele Alli could be an interesting choice for Real Madrid. The Tottenham midfielder has been a key player for his team for the past couple of seasons. Alli epitomizes the role of a modern-day attacker, with his great vision, tireless running, exceptional movements, and strong finish.
On the flip side, however, the English International might find it difficult to get game-time under his belt, considering the overload of midfielders Real Madrid already have at their disposal. Furthermore, Isco has stepped up his game to a whole new level, which nullifies the need of Dele Alli in the squad right now.
Harry Kane
Harry Kane is the one Real Madrid should definitely get their hands on. The English superstar is slowly making his mark on the International stage. In fact, he’s one of the top centre-forwards in world football now. Kane has been super-impressive in the Premier League for the past three seasons or so, scoring an incredible 110 goals in just 176 Premier League matches.
As for Real Madrid, they desperately need another striker in their ranks, especially after the departure of Alvaro Morata. The absence of Karim Benzema takes its toll on the overall offensive performance from Real Madrid, meaning someone like Harry Kane could definitely plug the offensive gap.
He is perfect sort of player for a club like Real Madrid, with his sharpshooting abilities, coupled with a great combination of strength and finishing qualities, which helps plunder goals week in week out.
Meanwhile, the European champs are looking to get rid of Gareth Bale next summer, which should clear up some space for the accommodation of Harry Kane in the squad.
