Alfie Mawson is a target for Tottenham according to the Daily Express but a number of Spurs fans are unsure about the quality of the £40m-rated young Swansea defender.
The central defender was in action for the Welsh side as they faced Southampton and lost. The 1-0 defeat means that Swansea face a tough task of staying in the Premier League ahead of the final round of fixtures.
Mawson has been touted as a replacement for Toby Alderweireld but that seems unlikely now, basis some of the Tweets from the Tottenham fans.
Twitter was lit up after the Swans’ 1-0 loss and here are some of the best reactions about Mawson.
Alfie Mawson has had a very shaky start to a game that his team desperately need to win. In other news, Alfie Mawson is linked with Spurs.

then you got Spurs who are willing to sell Toby and bring in Mawson for £40m. Whilst Sissoko, Lamela & Llorente are free to roam about Hotspur Way everyday. I hate dis game more https://t.co/GbSi1Y6rnZ

So Spurs will sell Toby for like 40m and replace him with Alfie mawson for 35/40m can someone tell me how that’s good business?

Spurs will probably sell Toby and Rose and replace them with Mawson and Bertrand.
What a club we are.

Based on that performance, if we bring in Alfie Mawson to replace Toby Alderweireld, we’re going backwards #THFC

Imagine selling Toby and going for mawson
It’d be like selling walker for someone like aurier 🙃— KANE’D (@ImSpursLad) May 8, 2018
Anyone who genuinely believes Alfie Mawson would be a credible replacement for Toby needs to be lobotomised immediately

Mawson is a headless chicken if Spurs really think he can replace Toby 😱 #THFC
