Some Spurs fans on social media have dismissed the rumours linking the North Londoners with a move for West Ham United striker Michail Antonio.
Tottenham are expected to go after a striker when the transfer window reopens in January (Fabrizio Romano).
Reports over the last couple of weeks have indicated that Antonio Conte has urged the club to bring in Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.
However, Fichajes journalist Ekrem Konur claimed this week that Spurs might make an offer for Antonio instead.
The Jamaican international, who has often been the thorn in Tottenham’s side in London derbies, has been on fire for the Hammers so far this campaign, having registered six goals and three assists in ten Premier League games.
While some Spurs fans opined that they cannot see West Ham selling Antonio to Tottenham, others were excited by the rumour, insisting that the 31-year-old would be a perfect fit for Conte’s system.
Sorry can’t see this happening wet spam are happy and Antonio is happy there !! Smoke screen.

Spurs Web Opinion
The only way we could get Antonio is if the striker pushes to leave West Ham. Even then, David Moyes’ side would probably demand a premium for the 31-year-old. I personally do not see Antonio wanting to swap West Ham for Spurs considering the start the Hammers have had to the season.
