Although the next summer's transfer window will officially open only on July 1st, already at this stage of the season, many teams have started working towards signings in the player market.
According to the Portuguese "Record", Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham are interested in signing Morten Jollmand, the Sporting Lisbon full-back who has had a great debut season in Portugal, after joining from Italian side Lecce in the summer for 18 million euros.
In any other report, Jolmand probably wouldn't have received much attention, but this time it was his family history with a past connected to Tottenham's eternal rivals that played a role.
The 24-year-old Dane is certainly considered a great talent and a great option for the Roosters who are looking to replace Pierre-Emile Hoybeirg, his teammate in Denmark, in the summer, but his Sporting contact records from training sessions and an interview he did in the past with "Record" revealed an interesting detail about his sympathies.
Will the bitter rival's tattoo change the plans?

"My father is an Arsenal fan and as a child we watched games together," Jollmand told about the family experience when asked why he has an Arsenal tattoo on his arm.
The exposure in the Portuguese media should not deter Tottenham regarding the signing of the Danish midfielder, but it seems that even if they make an official offer in the coming months, it is not certain that it will be well received by the team's fans who could "get" to see a midfielder of the team with a tattoo of Arsenal, their bitter rival, on his arm
