Antonio Conte has taken the next step towards completing a summer transfer revamp at Tottenham, with the Italian boss identifying a new backup to Hugo Lloris. Spurs have made Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster a "top target" ahead of next season, according to The Athletic.
The 34-year-old, who has reportedly already said his goodbyes at St Mary's, has featured 19 times for the Saints in the Premier League this season, keeping three clean sheets. The Athletic claim that Tottenham transfer chief Fabio Paratici is aiming to secure the England international's services next week once the season draws to a close.
It's believed that Spurs want a homegrown shot-stopper to replace Pierluigi Gollini as Lloris' understudy, with the rules and regulations of Champions League qualification likely to have prompted Conte's interest. Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who is valued at around £13million by CIES Football Observatory, has been previously linked with a move to White Hart Lane.
