Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur have been reacting to a transfer report regarding supposed Spurs transfer target Arkadiusz Milik.
Claims that have appeared in The Times have suggested that AS Roma are rivalling the north London outfit for the signing of the Napoli striker.
Supposedly, Jose Mourinho’s side’s hopes of signing the Polish frontman have been ‘complicated’ by interest from the Serie A club.
The transfer link between Roma and Milik was initially reported by Corriere dello Sport and they claim the Rome club ‘likes’ Milik ‘a lot’.
This report was relayed to supporters on social media by Daily Hotspur and it had lots of them talking.

In early July, it was stated by Goal that Tottenham were going to face ‘tough competition’ to sign Milik from another Serie A side.
However, that was from Italian giants Juventus and it was also stated at the time that the north London outfit was ‘working on‘ the signing.
Would you be happy if Spurs signed Milik from Napoli?
Yes, he's a good player
No, he's not good enough
Pleas sign him

Make it happen

During the 2019/20 season, the Polish forward bagged an impressive total of 11 goals in 26 Serie A appearances (per WhoScored).
The 26-year-old attacker also earned a 6.88/10 average rating which made him the fourth-best performer to play for Napoli in the league.
Had Milik earned the same average rating for Spurs in the Premier League then he would have been their seventh-best performer (per WhoScored).
