Spurs fans on Twitter have been discussing the latest reported transfer news, which sees their club being linked with a move for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, although they could face competition from Manchester United and Chelsea.
According to the Daily Mail (via Ricky Sacks), the North London club have made a formal enquiry to Lazio over the availability of the Serbian international. Jose Mourinho is reportedly a huge admirer of the 25-year-old and has made it clear he wants to link up with him at Spurs, having wanted to sign him during his time as Manchester United boss.
So far this season, the midfielder has impressed in his performances in Serie A; averaging a superb 7.33 rating, having contributed four goals and four assists in 25 appearances in the Italian top-flight (per WhoScored).

Watched him live last year, was class and grew into the game Inter couldn’t handle him. He’s out of our league I’m afraid, all top players are

Would love this but can’t see it happening.
Realisticly, he would only be signed as a replacement for NDombele. An expensive one.

World class midfielder. I can’t believe you think this

These Spurs fans clearly rate the Serbian midfielder and feel he would be a top signing for the Lilywhites this summer.
What do we think?
Spurs are already arguably well-stocked in central-midfield and considering Milinkovic-Savic is currently valued at £57.6 million by Transfermarkt, it is difficult to see the North London club bringing him in this summer, especially in the current economic climate.
