Tottenham are on the hunt for a goalkeeper they believe has the potential to be Hugo Lloris’ long-term replacement this summer, football.london understands. For many years, Daniel Levy and the Spurs board have not had to worry about an upgrade in the goalkeeping department, with the French World Cup-winning shot-stopper having been the club’s firm No. 1 since arriving from Lyon in 2012.
However, as Lloris enters the latter part of his career, and his current contract, the north London club are understood to be finally looking to bring in the Frenchman's heir apparent at the end of this season. football.london understands that some of the names on Spurs’ shortlist include Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, Brentford's David Raya, Brighton stopper Robert Sanchez and AC Milan's Mike Maignan.
However, the club appears to have narrowed down its options to another ‘keeper in the form of Aston Villa’s World-Cup-winner Emiliano Martinez. At the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the Argentine performed heroics in the final to help his national side claim the ultimate prize.
