# Spurs fans take to Twitter to demand Nelson Semedo move

**With Kieran Trippier’s career taking a nosedive, it’s little surprise to hear talk that [Spurs would be willing to offload the England star this summer](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/kieran-trippier-transfer-atletico-madrid-16185582). Though Kyle Walker-Peters has shown promising signs of making the grade, Mauricio Pochettino’s side would understandably be looking for an established first-team star to come in. And if reports are to be believed, that man could well be Barcelona’s Nelson Semedo.**

According to the [Daily Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/how-tottenham-could-line-up-16155855), the Portugal international has been made available by the Camp Nou side for around £30m, and Spurs are very much interested in his services. The 25-year-old sprint king has often been side-lined by Sergi Roberto for the starting right-back role at Barcelona, and has struggled to establish himself since his move from Benfica.

Having seen Semedo’s abilities first-hand during the Champions League group stages this season, Spurs fans took to social media to throw their backing behind a potential move. With his pace completely blowing the likes of Trippier and Aurier out of the water, the Portuguese man could be the archetypal Pochettino signing; strong, quick and technically sound too.
