Tottenham have reportedly cooled their interest in West Ham target Krzysztof Piatek.
According to The Telegraph, a move to North London is now unlikely to happen due to the ‘costs involved’.
And the news hasn’t gone down well with plenty of Spurs supporters.
Reports last week suggested that the Hammers were in pole position to sign the Poland international, with Aston Villa another side linked with the 24-year-old.
It seems as if a move to Spurs is out of the question, and when @Daily_Hotspur shared the Telegraph’s claims on Wednesday, it led to these fans sharing their frustration at the news.

Read West Ham verdict
We can definitely understand these Tottenham supporters’ frustration, however, their loss could prove to be West Ham’s gain.
If the club could win the race for the AC Milan man, we think it would be an excellent piece of business by the Hammers.
David Moyes, in our eyes, desperately needs attacking reinforcements, and what better way to bolster your front line than securing a man who’s scored 26 Serie A goals over the last 18 months.
Piatek’s prolific finishing ability, along with his impressive hold-up play and physical build makes him, in our view, a perfect European target to take to the Premier League.
He’s got a better strike rate over club-record signing Sebastien Haller over the last 18 months, with the Frenchman netting a combined 21 league goals for former side Eintracht Frankfurt and the Hammers.
At 24, Piatek would also have time to improve his game at the London Stadium before entering the prime years of his career.
