Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are now being linked by reports from Denmark, which follow earlier claims from England about a possible goalkeeper discussion between the two clubs.

According to Bold, Spurs are exploring the idea of a loan move for Mads Hermansen, while Antonin Kinsky could head in the opposite direction to West Ham. The Danish outlet is clear, however, that the situation remains at a very early stage. Bold also make it clear this is their own information, so presumably from a source close to the Danish player.

As things stand, Bold report that Tottenham and West Ham are only in dialogue about the concept of such a deal. These exchanges have not progressed into formal negotiations, and no concrete proposal has been made. The talks are described as exploratory rather than advanced.

Hermansen’s first half-season in London has been challenging. After a couple of difficult West Ham matches, he dropped out of the starting line-up.

In fact, since mid-September, Hermansen has made only one appearance, playing in the FA Cup against Queens Park Rangers. And a potential move to Tottenham would see Hermansen work under fellow Dane Thomas Frank.
