According to The Express, Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Southampton defender Ryan Bertrand and Swansea City's Alfie Mawson in a £65m deal this summer.

There is no question that both are good players, but Tottenham will not have hundreds of millions to splash in this summer's transfer window, and £65m seems an awful lot of money to spend on two defenders that might not even be first choice at White Hart Lane.

Spurs will need to boost their back-line this summer when considering that Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose are expected to move on, but the club has also been linked with a big-money move for Ajax's outstanding teenage centre-back Matthijs de Ligt.

The Tottenham fans have been reacting to suggestions that their club could move for Bertrand and Mawson this summer, and it would be fair to say that not many are pleased with the reports that have emerged.
