Tottenham Hotspur fans haven’t reacted well to who North London rivals Arsenal could potentially sign.

According to BBC Sport, the Gunners are in talks with Inter Milan to sign Ivan Perisic on loan.

The Croatia international, a World Cup finalist, has faced Tottenham on two occasions in the Champions League this season, impressing in the first game at San Siro back in September.

Spurs and Arsenal are yet to sign anyone in the January transfer window, but fans of the Lilywhites on Twitter admit that their bitter rivals could end their drought in stunning fashion by getting the 29-year-old, who scored three goals in last summer’s World Cup.

Here is how some Tottenham fans reacted:

You can understand their frustration, but the reality is that Mauricio Pochettino doesn’t need a winger.

Tottenham need a striker and potentially an attacking midfielder, with Harry Kane and Dele Alli both set to miss February at a minimum.

The good news is that Son Heung-min will be back soon following South Korea’s Asia Cup exit, and with Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura, Spurs won’t be needing someone like Perisic.
