Jordan Pickford labelled as Tottenham 'option' as Antonio Conte wrestles with Jamie Carragher criticism

Everton's Jordan Pickford is one of three goalkeepers Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is reportedly eyeing up to replace the long-serving Huge Lloris.

The Frenchman made the move to north London in August 2012 and has gone on to make 436 appearances for the club since joining from Ligue 1 outfit Lyon. However, he has come under fire in recent weeks after the Lillywhites' promising early-season Premier League form has withered after recent defeats to Newcastle United and Liverpool, with Jamie Carragher insisting neither Lloris nor the defenders in front of him are at the "level" Conte requires.

In January, just a few months after the Italian replaced Nuno Espirito Santo at the helm, Lloris was handed a new two-year extension that would see him remain at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until 2024. However, journalist Graeme Bailey believes the 35-year-old could be phased out of Conte's side from the start of the 2023/24 season onwards, meaning that a move for a younger goalkeeper would become a focus during the summer transfer window.
