Spurs fans react on Twitter to Carlos Vinicius reports

A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to react to Carlos Vinicius’s future in North London.

It has been an interesting season for the 25-year-old. He has scored six times in the Europa League. But he is yet to open his account in the Premier League.

However, the report claims that Tottenham have now told his parent club that they are not going to trigger that option. But that does not necessarily mean that the forward will leave in the summer.
