Tottenham news: Fabio Paratici offered Chelsea ace as Lionel Messi gives Cristian Romero verdict

Your Tottenham Hotspur morning digest on Wednesday, November 23.

Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, according to reports.

With a succession plan needed for 35 year old Hugo Lloris, 90min report that Spurs could now sign Senegal international Mendy from London rivals Chelsea. Mendy has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge following Graham Potter's arrival, which has seen the re-emergence of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

This has led to reports linking the former Rennes goalkeeper with a move away from west London, and Tottenham could indeed be his next destination.

Lionel Scaloni's side had three goals ruled out due to offside in the first-half, with frontmen Messi and Lautaro Martinez leading the line to excellent effect.

It's expected that the 11 starters will join the rest of the camp in training on Wednesday as preparation intensifies for their second group game.
