Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reacting to reported interest from their club in Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Spurs are set to revive their previous interest in the Championship striker, with Harry Kane expected to be out for around eight weeks with a torn hamstring.

Having let Fernando Llorente leave in the summer, the north Londoners are currently without an out-and-out striker with experience.

Troy Parrott made his Premier League debut against Burnley, but it would be a big ask for him to deputise for the England captain.

So it could be that Spurs move for Mitrovic, who has bagged 18 goals for Fulham so far in 2018/19.

The Serbia international has continued to prove his goalscoring ability in the English second tier, which has apparently piqued Tottenham’s curiosity.

The club were linked with Mitrovic last year, the club failed with a £27 million bid in January and that they would likely try again in the summer.

Tottenham fans react

Several Tottenham fans appear to be quite open to the idea of the club signing Mitrovic amid the fresh speculation:
