Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur have recently flocked to Twitter to air their responses to a transfer report regarding Inter defender Milan Skriniar.

During the 2019/20 season, Skriniar made 32 league appearances for Inter in which he earned a 6.61/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
Had the defender earned the same average rating for Spurs in the Premier League last season, then he would have been their joint-11th-worst performer.
However, during the 2017/18 Serie A season, Skriniar showed he is capable of consistently delivering good performances after he earned a 7.20/10 average rating over 38 league appearances.
Levy is the man
