Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have flocked to a tweet that was recently posted by Spurs-focused Twitter account @Daily_Hotspur which relayed an update concerning the Lilywhites and their interest in Benfica centre-back Ruben Dias that was recently posted to Twitter by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano

It has been reported that £31.5m-rated Dias is among Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho’s ‘defensive targets.’ 

However, after taking to Twitter to declare that Spurs’ Premier League rivals Manchester City ‘are now in talks with Benfica’ to sign Dias, Romano posted a follow-up tweet stating that Tottenham are yet to submit a bid for the Portuguese defender, with the north London club focusing their efforts on signing Internazionale defender Milan Skriniar. 

After this news was then shared by @Daily_Hotspur, plenty of Lilywhites supporters replied to their tweet to share their thoughts on this update.

Some Spurs fans replied to this post to urge their club to sign the 23-year-old Benfica man.

Meanwhile, some other Tottenham supporters replied to this tweet to share some pessimism over the likelihood that Dias will be a Spurs player at the end of the current transfer window, with one particular Lilywhites fan stating that they believe their club has got ‘no chance’ of signing the Portugal international now that City are pursuing him.

So, as can be seen in the replies to this post, it seems as though plenty of Spurs fans would like to see their club sign Dias, however, given Romano’s recent updates on the situation, it doesn’t look as if the north London club are in the driving seat with regard to this particular transfer at present.
