Now that it has been reported that Barcelona could be looking at current Spurs players they may want in exchange deal as part of a potential transfer for Coutinho, this sparked a big reaction on Twitter, with many Spurs fans sharing their suggestions of who they would like to see leave to make way for the Brazilian.

It appears that there are several names within the current Spurs squad that these fans would happily swap for Coutinho.
This could mean that they are so desperate to sign the Brazilian, that they wouldn’t mind seeing more squad players leave the club – or it could mean that they simply wouldn’t mind getting rid of these players, anyway.
