Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to the latest transfer report, which suggests that the North London club and Juventus are discussing potential swap deals.
According to Tutto Mercato Web (via TranSPURS), Spurs could offer Serge Aurier plus cash for Brazilian left-back Alex Sandro, whilst there could also be a straight swap of Danny Rose and Mattia De Sciglio. It is perhaps a surprise to hear that Spurs could potentially be keen to see Aurier leave this summer, considering the Ivorian’s average rating of 7.18 makes him the North London club’s third-best performer in the Premier League this season (per WhoScored).
It is less surprising to hear that Rose could reportedly be involved in a swap deal, however, with the 29-year-old having seemingly fallen out with Jose Mourinho in January, which perhaps led to a loan move to Newcastle United in the winter transfer window.
Would the swap be a good deal for Spurs?
Yes
No

These Spurs fans clearly seem to think that it would be a good deal to swap Aurier and Rose for Sandro and De Sciglio.
What do we think?
Sandro has impressed in his performances in Serie A this season; averaging a 7.03 rating, so it seems as if he would be a good option for Jose Mourinho. De Sciglio meanwhile, has made just eight appearances in the Italian top-flight; averaging a 6.68 rating, so based off his form this season, perhaps Spurs should avoid bringing him in.
