Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that Ernesto Valverde has been approached.

What’s the story?

Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Tottenham have approached former Barcelona head coach Valverde.

The 57-year-old is without a managerial job at the moment, having been sacked by Barcelona in January 2020.

Tottenham are searching for a new manager following the sacking of Jose Mourinho in April.

Well-known and well-respected journalist Romano has claimed that Tottenham have approached the Spaniard.

What are Tottenham Hotspur fans saying?

As you can see from the following posts on Twitter, some Tottenham fans are really excited at the prospect of Valverde becoming the new manager.

Ernesto Valverde to Tottenham Hotspur?

Valverde is a very experienced manager who has been in charge of clubs such as Athletic Bilbao, Espanyol and Olympiacos.

The 57-year-old won the La Liga title twice with Barcelona.

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi was disappointed when the club sacked the Spaniard.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will not have to pay a compensation fee to get Valverde.

The Spaniard could be willing to work at Tottenham knowing that he would not be given a lot of funds.

Harry Kane could also leave Spurs this summer.
