Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on the Angers goalkeeper Yahia Fofana, and they could look to make a move for him at the end of the season.
According to a report from TBR football, Tottenham sent scouts to watch the player in action at the weekend. They will face competition from Manchester United and Newcastle United for the player.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper has done quite well with Angers, and there is no doubt that he is good enough for the Premier League. He could prove to be a useful acquisition for Tottenham.
Guglielmo Vicario has done well for the north London club, but they could use a quality backup option. The 24-year-old Ivory Coast goalkeeper could compete with the Italian for the starting spot. The competition for places will help Tottenham improve as a team.
It remains to be seen whether they can beat the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle to his signature.
Man United and Newcastle need Yahia Fofana
The 24-year-old goalkeeper will want to play regularly, and he might be more keen on joining a club where he will be a guaranteed starter. The likes of Manchester United might be able to provide him with that opportunity. Andre Onana has been hugely underwhelming, and Manchester United need a goalkeeper who can start for them regularly. It remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer for Fofana.
Similarly, Newcastle are planning for the future and they need a quality replacement for Nick Pope. The Ivory Coast goalkeeper could be a quality addition for all three clubs. It remains to be seen whether they can negotiate a reasonable deal with Angers in the coming weeks.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for the goalkeeper, and he will look to prove himself in English football.
