West Ham’ defender Issa Diop is reportedly a target for Tottenham – and some of the club’s supporters have responded to plead that he doesn’t exit the London Stadium.

According to Sky Sports, Spurs are interested in trying to sign the Hammers defender.

But the report does explain that there is no desire to sell him from the Irons and that his valuation is currently more than £50million.

Diop played 38 games across all competitions last season and started this campaign as a regular starter in the heart of defence.

But the 22-year-old has currently lost his spot in the starting XI and has work to do win it back.

He is a strong centre-back that has a good turn of pace too and at times has shown his potential with performances in the Premier League.

A selection of West Ham supporters on social media insist that it would be ridiculous to sell their defender Diop, especially to a bitter London rival in Spurs.

They signed him for £22million (BBC) from French top-flight club Toulouse in 2018 and there is a feeling that the best is still yet to come from him.

Here are some West Ham fans commenting on the Diop rumours:
