Tottenham fans are desperate for a change of fortunes, although they may need to bring in some more faces and ship out some familiar ones if they want that to happen. With that in mind, rumours have swirled around the club, and the latest one has proved to be very exciting.

The fans have long been waiting for a new attacking face to add to the likes of Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son, Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura, and it looks like they could be set to add one in the form of Napoli’s Dries Mertens, according to Il Mattino via The Metro.
The Belgian attacker is a top player, and he recently broke Diego Maradona’s goal tally for Napoli when he bagged twice in the Champions League against RB Salzburg (BBC). Now, though, he could be set to leave the club and make his way to north London, a move which these Spurs fans love the sound of.
Should we make the move to sign Dries Mertens?
Yes!
No!

Loads of Tottenham fans seem desperate to bring in Mertens, although there’s still a lot of time between now and January so anything can happen.
