Many Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to express their reaction to reports linking their club with a move for Ibrahima Konate.

Earlier this week, popular football journalist Rory Smith claimed that Liverpool could move for the RB Leipzig star this month as they look to bolster their defensive options.

However, according to a recent report from Bild, Spurs are firmly in the hunt alongside Manchester United and Liverpool to sign the defender.

Although several Premier League clubs are vying for his signature including the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, it is Spurs who are top candidates to sign Konate.

Many Spurs fans feel that the 21-year-old defender would be a fantastic addition for the north London club in the summer. Apparently, any potential suitor will have to pay a fee of around £26.5 million, which is his release clause.

Like when we spent however much on an Ajax centre back and got Sanchez instead of De Ligt! Going for the wrong one again!

We can just pay his release clause now even if they don’t want to sell him now and they still have to accept it
