Tottenham Hotspur fans have reacted on Twitter to rumours that they are interested in signing Martin Satriano from Inter Milan.

The Daily Mail have claimed that the 20-year-old has a host of clubs keen on his talents, including Tottenham and several other London clubs.

Even though the Uruguay-born player is yet to make a senior appearance for Inter, the hotly-labelled wonderkid has been producing the goods in Primavera 1.

Satriano scored 12 goals and supplied five assists in 27 appearances last season (transfermarkt), as his stock continues to rise.

But some Spurs fans are unsure as to whether they should be pushing for his talents when they have an academy of their own.

Plus, many have pointed out that they always seem to be ‘interested’ in players and they are never actually getting deals done.

Having a manager on board helps that situation, and with Nuno Espirito Santo being appointed on Wednesday, that transfer train might now get going.

Perhaps a player like Satriano should be on the bottom of Tottenham’s to-do list because they need players to come in and break into that first team.

And if Spurs need youngsters to inject that freshness and fearless nature into their game then they can look towards one of their teenage stars, Dane Scarlett.

There is also Troy Parrott, who struggled out on loan at Millwall and Ipswich last season, so there’s no guarantee that bringing in young talents from abroad will work.
