Some Tottenham fans have taken to social media in anger after Spurs were linked with Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren.
The news was initially reported on Monday by Sky Sports News – with north London rivals Arsenal also interested in signing the Croatian centre-back.
Spurs are in desperate need of someone to partner Toby Alderweireld, with Jan Vertonghen looking likely to leave at the end of the season, Davinson Sanchez worryingly out of form and 20-year-old Japhet Tanganga still relitavely inexperienced in the Premier League, despite his impressive opening few months since breaking into the first-team back in January.
Lovren has just one year left on his current contract, so would be available at a cut price, but it’s not a deal that many Tottenham fans would be interested in the club completing.
You can see some of their best responses on Twitter, including one fan that suggested he’d rather re-sign Ryan Nelson, whilst another described the links as embarrassing.
Please no. Harry Kane ended Lovren's career about 3 years ago.

Another fantastic choice of “back the manager” but watch fans argue almost unanimously against the signing ! They really mean. “Back my choices, not the managers”
