Chelsea fans react as Antonio Rudiger is linked to Tottenham

Chelsea are considering offloading Antonio Rudiger during the transfer window, with Tottenham and West Ham United both vying for his signature.

The 27-year-old defender has fallen down the pecking order under Frank Lampard following the summer arrival of Thiago Silva.

He was on the bench for the opening day victory over Brighton and Hove Albion but hasn’t made the squad for any of the four games since.

Rudiger is seen as an alternative solution to Milan Skriniar if a deal cannot be struck with Inter.

Following the news, Chelsea fans have been discussing whether or not heading to Tottenham would be a decent move.

Some have been discussing whether the Blues should even consider offloading the player full stop.

The reactions seem mixed, with plenty of the opinion that he is pretty much surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.

Others are of the opinion that they don’t really mind where he goes as long as he doesn’t stay at Chelsea.

Here is a selection of Tweets from Chelsea fans as the Rudiger is linked to Tottenham.
