Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reacting to surprise rumours the club could move for Atletico Madrid winger Thomas Lemar.

Foot Mercato have reported Spurs could swoop for the World Cup winner, who is having a tough time at the Spanish club.

Ryan Sessegnon, Heung-min Son and Lucas Moura are all naturals, while Moussa Sissoko, Erik Lamela and Giovani Lo Celso can all operate out wide too, and then there’s Serge Aurier and Danny Rose who can play as wing-backs.
