Manchester United already have top attacking players at their disposal but Louis van Gaal perhaps want more arrivals.
The Red Devils have their record signing in the form of World Class Angel Di Maria, previous record signing in Juan Mata, their captain as the versatile attacker Wayne Rooney and even have top youngsters in the form of Adnan Januzaj.
Clearly, the Old Trafford club do not need more attackers in their squad. Instead, they need a world class midfielder and defender.
Tottenham on the other hand need someone who can amplify the quality of their attack.
The North Londoners and Manchester United had Ukranian winger Konoplyanka as a target and as per latest reports, Tottenham are set to sign Konoplyanka beating Manchester United to the player.
The Red Devils have also lost the race to sign exciting young talent Martin Odegaard who has completed move to European Champions Real Madrid.
English premier league clubs are not the only ones interested in signing the speedy winger. As per the provided link, Serie A sides Roma and Inter are linked as well as French side AS Monaco.
However, Spurs have already begun negotiations and are set to sign the 25 year old playmaker for a bargain fee of just $10m.
Konoplyanka has featured in 21 games for Dnipro this season, has scored 4 goals and also provided 4 assists as well.
In your Opinion, is Konoplyanka the right man to replace Aaron Lennon?

Will be great signing BUT Get Rid of – Townsend / Lennon / Soldado / Pauhino / Lemela / Kuboul / Caponie / Chirches / Davis / Asoto …..Noughton to Swansea THEN BUY: Benteke / Morgan / Hector / Benteke / Depth / Ings or Javier still on loan?
Derek, find another team to support mate….
BUY: Benteke /…. / Benteke
The double Benteke spearhead looks interesting!
On topic. The alleged signing of Yevhen Konoplyanka would be very usefull for Spurs and is easily a superb replacement for Aaron Lennon. But will any club purchase Konoplyanka for €7m ($10m) now when he is a free agent in the summer of 2015?
Because as a free agent, he would surely go to a different club.
Yevhen Konoplyanka is mustard, we have to get him, he ran us ragged a couple of years ago both legs. I think Lennon deserves a testimonial, he has been there all the way in our last 5 years of success (I know its not trophies but its been far better than previous). Time to go for Kaboul, Paulhinio, adebayor, Assou Akkoto, chiriches and capuoe, give Soldado and Townsend another season no excuses. Dier , Verts and Fazio will improve, we need a leader of quality to sit in front of back four (keane, Viera ilk) and a forward to play with Harry. COYS!!!!!!!!!!
in all the time lennon was at spurs he couldn’t cross a ball,to any effect.also very few goals to his credit.what he could do is beat a man on a sixpence.so he was wasted.if he had played alongside the striker he could have been much more effective,and scored goals.
