British agent Haydn Dodge has claimed that Hugo Lloris’ time at Spurs is close to an end and that the club “have already started looking” for a replacement.
In an exclusive interview with CaughtOffside, Dodge said that a goalkeeper replacement is “inevitable”.
He also named Sevilla’s Morrocan star Yassine Bounou as someone who is on top of Spurs’ list but also refused to rule out a move for Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak.
He added that Spurs could use their “strong relationship” with the La Liga club to get the deal done for one of the best goalkeepers in Europe in Oblak.
Speaking to CaughtOffside, he said:
“A change of goalkeeper [at Spurs] is inevitable.
“Hugo Lloris is 36 years old and with inconsistencies and injuries creeping into his game, Spurs have already started looking for a new number one.
“I’d also expect Jan Oblak to come into the picture considering Spurs’ strong relationship with Atletico Madrid.”
Spurs have recently done quite a bit of business with Atletico Madrid with the likes of Kieran Trippier, Sergio Reguilon, and Matt Doherty all moving to the La Liga club. This is said to have formed a good relationship between the two clubs.
It was also previously reported that Spurs will look to use this to sign the Yannick Carrasco and Oblak.
Hugo Lloris last week suffered an injury which is set to keep him out of action for 6 to 8 weeks.
Spurs tried to sign former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster who retired from football after getting relegated with Watform last season on a free transfer as a replacement but the Premier League denied their request.
Fraser Forster who signed for the club in the summer has now stepped up as the Frenchman’s replacement in goal.
