Tottenham Hotspur are looking to add more depth to the goalkeeping department and they have identified Alex Remiro as a target.
According to a report from the Times, they have watched the Real Sociedad goalkeeper in recent weeks and they are hoping to sign him next month. It will be interesting to see if the La Liga out are willing to sign on his departure next month.
Remiro has shown his quality in La Liga and he has the ability to succeed in English football as well. Spurs need a reliable backup to Guglielmo Vicario, who is injured. Fraser Forster will be out of contract in the summer and Remiro would be the ideal acquisition. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be attractive for the goalkeeper as well. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham come forward with an offer to sign the player.
Tottenham have an exciting project and a talented squad at their disposal. The La Liga goalkeeper would be attracted to the idea of joining them. It will be interesting to see if Real Sociedad are willing to accept a reasonable fee for his services. Spurs need to strengthen the other areas of their squad as well, and they might not be able to pay a premium for Remiro.
Meanwhile, the 29-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for Tottenham if the move goes through. Vicario has been criticised for his vulnerability while dealing with set pieces and the Spanish goalkeeper will certainly fancy his chances of dislodging the Italian from the starting lineup, even when he is fit. The competition for places could help both players improve.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal across the line.
