Tottenham fans have gone berserk on Twitter after it was reported that the club is interested in West Brom forward Salomon Rondon.
The Mirror has reported that West Ham and Chelsea are also interested in Rondon, 28, after the Baggies were relegated from the Premier League last season.
There has been major speculation over the future of a number of Albion’s players but it is understood that manager Darren Moore is eager to keep as many of his players at The Hawthorns as possible as they aim to secure an instant return to the top-flight.
Spurs fans are not pleased about the prospect of signing Rondon though as the Venezuela international has only scored 28 goals in 120 appearances across all competitions in his three years at The Hawthorns.
One supporter even said “RIP” to the chances of winning the Premier League next season.
Here is a selection of their tweets:
So let me get this right? The way to improve on top 3 is to buy bottom 3 team's players? Have I got that right? #dontgetit

Rondon reportedly has a release clause in his deal at West Brom worth £16million, and that has now been triggered after their relegation from the top-flight.
Jonny Evans is another player who is expected to quit Albion soon with a £3million release clause in his contract while it is understood that ex-Arsenal left-back Kieran Gibbs is attracting attention from across the Premier League.
