Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in Leicester City-owned AS Monaco striker Islam Slimani.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with a move for Leicester City-owned striker Islam Slimani.
Slimani joined Ligue 1 outfit AS Monaco on a season-long loan deal from Premier League outfit Leicester in the summer of 2019.
According to WhoScored, the 31-year-old striker has made 11 starts and two substitute appearances in Ligue 1 for Monaco so far this season, scoring seven goals and providing seven assists in the process.
The Telegraph has claimed that Tottenham are interested in bringing the Algeria international striker to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the January transfer window.
Spurs’ Premier League rivals Aston Villa are also reported to be looking at the former Sporting Lisbon striker.
Slimani has been at Leicester since 2016, but he has failed to make an impact in the Premier League, and has also been on loan at Newcastle United and Fenerbahce.
With Spurs needing a striker in the January transfer window due to the injury to Harry Kane, it seems that the North London outfit are looking at Slimani, but the Algerian would be a panic buy and an underwhelming signing for Jose Mourinho’s team.
Tottenham fans have not been impressed with Mourinho’s reported interest in Slimani, and below are some of the best comments on Twitter.
