3 Keepers Spurs should go after to replace Hugo Lloris
As Club Captain Hugo Lloris is already 34 and has expressed ambitions of his desire to play for his hometown team in France before retiring, it is only a matter of time before the Frenchman leaves the club. Reports of a bust up between him and Spurs team mate Serge Aurier at half time of the Liverpool game will surely only accelerate a move for Lloris
Here is a list of the 3 best candidates to replace the World Cup winner.

Andre Onana
A key part of the Ajax team knocked out by Spurs in the 2019 UCL Semi Finals, Onana has continued to grow and mature. The 24-year-old has plenty of experience in not only the Eredivisie but has also played in 3 season of the Champions League and 2 seasons in the Europa League.
With a current market value of $39.6 million the Cameroon International would not come cheap. However, Spurs do have a lot of deadwood in the squad that will be sold in the summer, the funds should be there, especially if they progress far in the many competitions they are in.

Gianlugi Donnarumma
With his contract expiring in the summer, it would be the perfect time to go in for AC Milan keeper although the race will be hotly contested. Still only 21, the Italian has a huge future in front of him.
Although he is heavily experienced in Serie A, Donnarumma has only played in two seasons of European competition and has yet to feature in the Champion’s League. The Italian will demand high wages however as he is currently on more than what Lloris earns with each earning €6 million and €5.2 million a year respectively.

Illan Meslier
A young Frenchman worked out last time didn’t it? 20-year-old Leeds United keeper, Meslier has impressed in his first season in the topflight. Although this Leeds team have conceded plenty of goals this season, Meslier is rarely at fault and is more frequently let down by his defense.
With a market value of only $13.2 million Meslier would be a bargain for the club, on top of that his current deals runs out in 2 ½ seasons keeping his price low. The Frenchman has been on good form as well this season keeping 6 clean sheets, equal to Hugo Lloris’ record and 8th best in the league.
