A number of West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to comment as Spurs are linked with Issa Diop, with the Daily Mirror (5/1; page 47) amongst those reporting that Jose Mourinho wants the centre-back.

The Mirror reported this week that Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bolster their defensive options. And it was claimed that Diop is one of the players on Mourinho’s radar.

The Frenchman has endured a disappointing season so far. Diop has started just three Premier League games this term. And he now appears to be below Craig Dawson in the pecking order.

It seems that David Moyes is prepared to let the 23-year-old leave. The Daily Mirror (5/1; page 47) reported that the Hammers want around £18 million for Diop.

Despite his lack of game-time, it appears that few West Ham fans have any interest in seeing Diop leave – particularly for Spurs.
