Tottenham appear to be on the hunt for a goalkeeper they believe has the potential to be an adequate long-term successor to Hugo Lloris. 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, football.london understands the north London club are finally looking to bring in the Frenchman's heir apparent this summer. Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez appears to be high up on Tottenham’s shortlist, alongside the likes of Giorgi Mamardashvili of Valencia, Brentford's David Raya and AC Milan's Mike Maignan.
Their potential pursuit of the 25-year-old Spaniard may also have been given a significant, and perhaps unexpected, boost by Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi. The Seagulls head coach opted to leave the ‘keeper out of his starting line-up for their 4-0 victory against West Ham on Saturday.
