According to reports from A Bola (h/t Team Talk), Tottenham Hotspur are back in the race to sign Benfica’s highly-rated left-back Alex Grimaldo in the January transfer window.

The report claims that Premier League rivals Arsenal and Serie A giants Napoli are also in the race to sign the 24-year-old.

A Bola claims that all the three clubs will battle to land the player in the next year who is rated at €40million.

The interest from Arsenal comes as a surprise given that they only signed Kieran Tierney from Celtic over the summer.

Some Spurs fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction after the news broke out. Here are some of the selected tweets:

Rather have Chilwell, he’s actually proven in the premier league. Grimaldo looks better fitted for Serie A

I’m sure if we buy him he’ll be injured & won’t see him for months & only 10 minutes at a time.
