Spurs fans on Twitter have been discussing the transfer rumour linking them with a move for Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot.
According to Bleacher Report (via TranSPURS), the North London club are considering a move for the 21-year-old this summer. Jose Mourinho signed the young defender from Porto during his time at Manchester United, with the 57-year-old describing him as ‘the best young full-back in Europe’ at the time.
However, with United having spent big on Aaron Wan-Bissaka last summer, the Portuguese defender has found game-time hard to come by for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side this season; making just four appearances in the Premier League, averaging a weak 6.18 rating.
Would Dalot be a good signing for Spurs?
Yes
No

Makes sense. Mourinho brought him to Manchester and knows Portuguese talent

Other Spurs fans are less interested in the 21-year-old, however.

These Spurs fans are seemingly split on the potential signing of Dalot from Manchester United.
What do we think?
Considering Kyle Walker-Peters is seemingly on his way out of the North London club, Spurs arguably need to bring in a young right-back as cover for Serge Aurier in the summer, although with Dalot currently valued at £16.2 million by Transfermarkt, it could prove to be an expensive option for Mourinho’s side.
