Tottenham Hotspur are looking to add Celta Vigo midfielder Stanislav Lobotka to their squad, it has been claimed, leaving Spurs fans reacting on social media.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is keen on the Slovakian international amid the uncertainty around Mousa Dembele's future. The 23-year-old signed a new deal running until June 2023 with the Spanish outfit in February, however the player wants to move on, with Serie A giants Napoli also interested in his services.
Tottenham are yet to make a signing this summer and with less than four days remaining, fans have been demanding some action from chairman Daniel Levy. Spurs fan Erik Apter took to Twitter to says that Lobotka would be a 'great buy' for the club, although MDAN finds the player's reported release clause of around £31m a bit too high.
Lobotka is class – would be a great buy for Spurs.

Lobotka's release clause is bit high

Philip on the other hand would '100% take Lobotka' due to his young age and his 'decent' on field performances.
I would 100% take Lobotka, only 23 and seems decent, if he isn't amazing straight away he's still very useful for when Dembélé is tired, annoys me that so many of our fans don't want him, just look at Dele and Trippier recently…

Dan stated that people may 'need to google him' to know more about the player, but he would indeed be just the right fit for the Spurs midfield.
Many will laugh and say you need to google him but Lobotka would be a very good signing, just the sort of midfielder we need! #thfc

While Adhithya backed up his arguement in support of the Slovakian with a video of his exploits in Spain, Shariff was left impressed with his on the ball speed.
Meanwhile, James asked a question which most Spurs fans had on their mind after the rumours began.
Lobotka was excellent in central midfield for Celta. If we're looking at replacing Dembele he could be a very good option #thfc #COYS https://t.co/gpJg7bYTTx

Damn, he’s fast as hell with that ball, if poch really wants him, I’m sure he sees something. I’ll take him!
