# Tottenham Hotspur: Fans react as club now unlikely to go for Diego Godin

**Many Tottenham Hotspur fans have reacted as the north London club are now unlikely to go in for Diego Godin in the summer transfer window, according to [TuttoMercatoWeb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/) (via [Ricky Sacks](https://twitter.com/RickSpur/status/1250869638650568705)).**

Jose Mourinho is understood to be wanting to pursue other targets in the window ahead of the next season, despite the Portuguese coach apparently being an admirer of his career.

It is fair to say that the Uruguayan international has had an illustrious one, captaining his country as well as boasting 135 international caps, not to mention winning the Copa America too, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-godin/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/54928/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=).

His club career is not too bad either. The central defender has made a total of [534](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-godin/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/54928) club appearances, spending the majority of his time in Spain but now plays in Italy with Inter Milan.

However, his game time has been relatively limited this campaign, featuring in 17 Serie A matches (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-godin/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/54928/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=46&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

The 34-year old may seek a move away in the summer, but it seems as if it will not be to Spurs.

These THFC supporters reacted to the news, and it is safe to say many of them were rather happy:
