Tottenham fans are excited about the prospect of an end-of-season move for Issa Diop after reports claimed the defender wants out of West Ham United.
According to TEAMtalk, the 23-year-old has told the Hammers of his desire to leave, after two seasons of doing them a favour by playing a level down.

Spurs apparently made enquiries about Diop in the January window but were predictably knocked back as West Ham feared yet another relegation.
We did, of course, add Steven Bergwijn and Gedson Fernandes to our ranks but the defence remained a big problem, even in the midst of attacking injuries.
Our interest in the Frenchman is thought to remain as Diop is seen within Spurs circles as a long-term centre-back solution post-Jan Vertonghen.
And these fans on Twitter agree that Diop would be a good steal from our rivals…
This would be a class signing. Young, strong, knows the premier league

PFA won’t agree to a collective agreement on wage cuts, so it looks like it will be down to each club to come to an agreement with the players.
Plenty yes pleases. %to the brim. Overflowing actually. Issa, come to a big club son
