Spurs fans have been reacting to a rumour linking them with a sensational move for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, although they could face competition from Juventus and Manchester United.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb (via Ricky Sacks), the North London club, alongside Juventus and Manchester United, are monitoring the Norwegian striker in the hope of signing him in the summer transfer window. The 19-year-old only joined the Bundesliga side from RB Salzburg in January but has been superb ever since; having contributed 12 goals in 11 appearances in all competitions for Lucien Favre’s side.
Haaland is currently valued at £72 million by Transfermarkt after his electric start to life in Germany, suggesting that if Spurs are indeed interested, they will have to pay a huge fee to bring him to the Premier League.
Do Spurs have any chance of signing Haaland?

Although some Spurs fans would clearly love to sign Haaland, others simply aren’t convinced that there’s any chance of signing the 19-year-old.
What do we think?
As much as Haaland would be an incredible signing for Spurs, considering his goal record so far this season, it seems very unlikely that Spurs would shell out what would surely be a huge price for a striker, especially when they already have Harry Kane at their disposal.
