Spurs Twitter reacts as Ryan Mason signs for Hull City

Hull City have broken their transfer record to sign Ryan Mason from Spurs for an undisclosed fee. Sky Sports suggests the fee could be as much as £13 million.

Sunderland also expressed an interest in Mason, but the midfielder chose to follow former Tottenham boys Tom Huddlestone, Jake Livermore and Michael Dawson by joining Hull.

Mason struggled for minutes last season with the emergence of Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele as the side’s most effective central midfield partnership.

But he was excellent during Mauricio Pochettino’s first season at the club, forging a solid relationship with Nabil Bentaleb in the middle of the park. Both players have now left the club.

At times Mason looked like he lacked the quality to become a regular at White Hart Lane, but he always wore his heart on his sleeve and gave 100% whenever called upon.

A local boy and a Tottenham fan, Mason will be fondly remembered by Spurs fans. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news.

Thank you, @RyanMason! pic.twitter.com/3J2XbCUCMn

Feel a bit for mason tbh, not good enough but bags of guts, thought he might have got a better move than that

Ryan Mason’s departure was somewhat inevitable. He means well, but he’s a level below where Spurs want to be. Wish him the best at Hull.

Livermore, Huddlestone and now Mason. Hull’s midfield is turning into a go-to for the unwanted at White Hart Lane. #thfc

I totally get why Mason had to go, but he was part of ‘new Tottenham’. In many ways he helped kickstart Pochettino’s regime. Loved him.

Mason represented the start of a new era of player that were passionate and committed. Didn’t have the ability but had the drive

Mason joins Hull for between £10m and £13m. A top fee for a top man. Thanks for everything, Ryan. #Oneofourown #COYS pic.twitter.com/f9Ef5ByU5L

All the best to Ryan Mason. Instrumental part in turning the club round, playing for most part out of position. Legacy of drive, commitment

Never a world beater but @RyanMason gave everything for the shirt at a time when few did. Will excel at #HCAFC. #oneofourown
