Tottenham Hotspur only have pride to play for now following their exit from the Champions League earlier this week, and they have it all to do if they are to qualify for the competition again next season.
Jose Mourinho’s side sit some seven points behind the top four and are out of all cup competitions.
The Portuguese boss has denied the potential of a squad overhaul this summer, but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from operating in full swing recently.
According to Calcio Napoli 24, Spurs are interested in signing striker Arkadiusz Milik at the end of the season, which has resulted in fans discussing the potential move.
It’s claimed that Dries Mertens is likely to stay at the Serie A outfit, meaning the Polish frontman will be pushed closer towards the exit door.
Here’s what has been said…
It’s clear from the above reaction that plenty of supporters would be thrilled to see the 26-year-old make the switch from Italy to England.
“Class,” “solid” and “great” were just three words used to describe the possible move while one fan claimed he would take him as a back up for Harry Kane next season.

Milik’s career has been blighted by injuries in recent years, but he has still managed to find the net 12 times from 22 appearances this season, per Transfermarkt.
If they can keep him fit – a tough ask given Kane’s own troubles – then he would certainly be viable second-string option to the Spurs skipper.
He’s drawn a couple of comparisons from sections of the Tottenham faithful, too…
One likened him to former striker Fernando Llorente, because the 6 foot 1 forward is able to hold the ball up like a proper target man while another labelled him “[Krzysztof] Piatek 2.0” – the striker the club were heavily linked to during the January transfer window.
Although, a further fan believed he was better than his fellow countryman, who went on to join Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin instead.
And, of course, with every piece of transfer news, there are a few supporters taking fire at chairman Daniel Levy as clearly the trust in him has long gone…
Milik is rated at £36m by Transfermarkt and many believe the club will only offer a tenth of the price that Napoli will demand whilst a few joked about the matter.
