Football may currently be on lockdown across the globe, but that isn’t stopping Tottenham Hotspur from planning for next season, that’s if latest reports are to be believed.
Jose Mourinho’s side are staring down the barrel of their season being over, irrespective of what happens with the ongoing situation off the field, as they have been knocked out of all cup competitions and sit some seven points from the top four in the Premier League.
This week, the north London outfit have been linked to Valencia defensive midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia by Sky Sports, who claim the Portuguese chief is looking to bolster his struggling squad this summer.
The 27-year-old is admired by Spurs chief scout Steve Hitchen for a long-time as he has reportedly kept tabs on him throughout the current campaign.
Supporters have been reacting to the news on social media, here’s what has been said…
A couple of fans directed criticism at Hitchen given his recent transfer record. The likes of Ryan Sessegnon, Jack Clarke and Tanguy Ndombele have failed to impress in north London in the mind of one member of the Spurs faithful, for instance.
Another joked with an image of blind singer Stevie Wonder.

Others would love to see the Frenchman at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season, claiming he’s an “absolute class” midfielder while one supporter asked the club to sell Eric Dier and bring in Kondogbia instead.
Per WhoScored, the 27-year-old is averaging 2.4 tackles, 2.2 interceptions and 3.4 long balls per game in La Liga this term, which outweighs the Englishman in every facet.
Although, others had their reservations about the move with one comparing his fitness to Ndombele and another claimed his performances for former club Inter Milan were enough to put him off from wanting him at Spurs.
