Some Tottenham Hotspur fans are buzzing about a rumour involving Merih Demiral, due to the implication.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Juventus centre-back is set to join Serie A rivals Atalanta on a loan agreement.
And this is interesting from a Tottenham perspective because it implies that Demiral is set to replace Cristian Romero, who is heavily tipped to join Spurs.
Here’s how some fans of the North London club reacted to the Demiral news, with many believing that it is a sign of the Argentina international heading to the Premier League.
Imminent
Yep, this one seems pretty much imminent for the Lilywhites, it has to be said.
TyC Sports in Argentina reported this week that Tottenham had a £47 million bid accepted by the Italian club.
And the Demiral development is another sure-fire sign that the South American is bound for England – and it’s exactly what the club needs.
Not only do Spurs literally need central defenders, after losing Toby Alderweireld last month, but this is also what the club needs right now in terms of media attention.
Speculation about Harry Kane leaving has dominated the headlines in recent days and talk of an arrival will surely act as a very welcome distraction.
