‘Omg yes please’, ‘Will be class’ – Some Spurs fans react to links with striker with 181 PL goals
Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero would consider joining Tottenham Hotspur when he leaves his current club at the end of the season.

While the 32-year-old will be signed as a free agent, his wages could prove too much for a side like Tottenham. Chairman Daniel Levy has been prudent with his side’s finances for a while, and he would have ...
