Tottenham pair Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are both being linked with Roma – and some Spurs fans on Twitter have responded by claiming they wouldn’t mind selling both amid interest.

Italian club Roma, who are only seventh in Serie A right now, have recently announced that Jose Mourinho will be taking charge as their manager from the start of next season.

Despite being sacked by Spurs in April, the 58-year-old manager has already landed himself a new job.

According to Italian website CalcioToday, Mourinho could look to reunite with Dier and Hojbjerg immediately next season.

The report has named both as potential summer targets for Roma.

A selection of Spurs supporters on social have responded to speculation about their futures by saying they wouldn’t mind them both leaving.

Surprisingly, there are some who would welcome central midfielder Hojbjerg departing despite the fact he’s had a decent first campaign with the north London club overall.

The 25-year-old has been an ever-present since he joined from Southampton, and was a nailed-on starter for Portuguese boss Mourinho with Spurs.

Meanwhile, 27-year-old centre-back Dier does divide opinion a bit more, and has had spells in and out of the XI this campaign due to inconsistent form in defence.

Here are some Spurs fans discussing the transfer speculation:
