da marjack bet： Loads of Spurs fans have been reacting to an Alasdair Gold Twitter post after Football London’s Tottenham Hotspur correspondent said the “chase is over” for AC Milan striker Kryzsztof Piatek.
da fazobetai： The journalist had stated this week that the 24-year-old was ‘the one Tottenham want’ ahead of the transfer deadline on Friday, with Gold saying that chairman Daniel Levy wanted to set up a loan with option to buy deal similar to the one they did for Gedson Fernandes earlier this month.
However, Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin have now stolen a march on the north London outfit as they are willing to sign the Poland international on a permanent deal, leaving Tottenham empty-handed.
Piatek has scored five goals in 20 appearances in all competitions for the San Siro-based side this term, which perhaps suggests he wasn’t ready to fill Harry Kane’s boots at Spurs just yet anyway.
Plenty of fans have reacted to Gold’s tweet with their thoughts on the transfer update, and many are seemingly happy that a deal appears to be dead.
Some other fans fear that this partiuclar deal collapsing means that a new centre-forward won’t arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at all before 11pm on Friday.

Those supporters have every right to be concerned too, with David Ornstein saying on a Q&A for The Athletic on Thursday that their only option now is Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud, and that they only have a chance of getting him if the Blues make an attacking addition themselves.
Others unsurprisingly chose to take aim at Levy and his negotiating tendencies, with The Sun reporting earlier this week that he was only willing to spend a total of £10m on a striker deal this month.
Another is already predicting the excuses will be out in the matchday programme for the Premier League clash at home to Manchester City on Sunday.
