Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to react after Sky Italy revealed that Napoli are interested in signing Moussa Sissoko.

What’s the story?

Well, the Italian news outlet claim that Luciano Spalletti has Tottenham’s No.17 on his list of targets.

Spalletti only recently succeeded Gennaro Gattuso, but he’s clearly keen to add some reinforcements to his side quickly.

Sky Italy add that the Serie A side could start moving for the £30 million man in the coming days.

Sissoko is described as a player who could become an important asset for Spalletti if a move materialises.

Tottenham have to cash in on Sissoko

The ex-Newcastle man is now 31 years of age, and is someone Daniel Levy needs to move on if Spurs are to progress.

Sissoko isn’t an imperative member of the side, starting just 15 of the club’s 38 Premier League games last season.

He also earns £80,000-a-week, which simply doesn’t reflect his role at Tottenham, to say the very least.

One fan below seemed delighted by the news, and credited Fabio Paratici for Napoli’s interest.

Whether the newly appointed Director of Football has had anything to do with others being interested in Sissoko remains to be seen.

However, if Paratici can trim some deadwood from Tottenham’s squad and recoup some cash in the process, it would be a fine start to life in north London.

For now, let’s see what the Tottenham fans on Twitter have been saying about Napoli’s interest in Sissoko…
