da pinnacle： Evening Standard journalist Dan Kilpatrick has confirmed on Twitter that Tottenham Hotspur are indeed in talks over a loan deal to sign FC Porto striker Ze Luis, and Spurs fans have been quick to react.
da esport bet： Portuguese TV Station SIC Noticias, via Correio da Manha, reported on Tuesday that the 28-year-old was close to making a temporary move to north London until the end of the season.
The report suggested that the potential deal has been set up by super-agent Jorge Mendes, who was also responsible for helping client Gedson Fernandes seal an 18-month loan switch to Tottenham that was confirmed on Wednesday morning.
With Harry Kane set to be out of action until at least April having required surgery on the hamstring injury he picked up against Southampton on New Year’s Day, and with no other senior striker available with 17-year-old Troy Parrott the only specialist option, it is clear that a new centre-forward is needed during the current transfer window.
Kilpatrick’s tweet certainly garnered plenty of reaction from Spurs supporters as the responses flooded in, and none of it was positive with one simply saying “oh dear”, and another pleading “please no”.
Given he is about to turn 29 years of age and had a scoring ratio of less than one-in-three with 35 goals in 109 appearances for previous club Spartak Moscow in a weaker Russian league, that is hardly surprising.
Other chose to focus on the involvement of Mendes in another potential deal, with some clearly fearful that it could become an ongoing trend like it has at Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers, for example.

While he clearly represents the sorts of players who could be useful additions for Spurs, they shouldn’t be relying on him during Mourinho’s reign.
