Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction to reports linking their club with a potential move for Jarrod Bowen in the January transfer window.
The 23-year-old has been enjoying a phenomenal campaign in the Championship for Hull City once again. Last season, he scored 22 goals in the league, and this season he has managed 16 goals already.
A host of Premier League clubs including Tottenham, Arsenal, Newcastle and Aston Villa are keeping tabs on the £20m-rated forward (h/t The Mirror (transfer live blog; 02:55)).
Championship rivals Leeds United are also keen but they want him on loan instead.
Here are some of the selected tweets from Spurs fans on Twitter:
Fantastic player, we should act fast. £25m

Keeping tabs. That’s a new one. Usually we’re tracking, monitoring, preparing, considering, doing nothing.

I’ve seen the Championship, those clubs ain’t no joke. If he is top scorer than that means he has potential. I want Piatek since he is more proven. I just don’t want a Llorrente or some benchwarmer from Bolton.

I’ve been babbling about this signing for months but I bet this didn’t happen #THFC

Yes, wouldn’t mind that signing. Much better than some of the dross we’ve been linked to lately

Not exactly the player we need, but I’d take him, given we address other areas as wel.

Sign him @SpursOfficial!!!
— Alejandro Giménez (@Alex7GL) January 19, 2020
Really really hope we get him

Spurs are in desperate need to sign a striker this month following the injury to Harry Kane. The England striker has undergone a hamstring surgery and could be out of action for the rest of the season.
Bowen is a versatile forward who can play as a striker, as a secondary striker, and also as a right-winger.
Newcastle United are reportedly preparing a bid to sign Bowen this month, and it remains to be seen whether Spurs make any concrete move to sign him as well.
