David Raya, Diogo Costa, and the goalkeepers who could succeed Hugo Lloris at Tottenham
Tottenham will be seeking for a new goalkeeper this summer after Hugo Lloris revealed in a French interview that he is looking for a new challenge.
Hugo Lloris has stated that he has “desires for other things” and that Tottenham will likely have a new No. 1 in goal next season. Joining from Lyon in the summer of 2012, the World Cup champion is set to move for a new challenge abroad ahead of the new season, assuming Tottenham give him the green light to leave as he still has a year left on his deal.
“We are coming to an important moment, whether for the club or for me. It’s the end of an era. I have desires for other things,” he said in an interview with French media outlet Nice-Matin.
“I will ask myself quietly to study what will be possible. But I don’t forget that I still have a year of contract with Tottenham and that in football it is always difficult to predict what will happen. What is essential at the moment is to recover well from my injury. I’m on vacation but I continue to talk and do my training. My goal is to be on top in July, then we’ll see what the future holds for me.”
A departure would signal the end of an era for both player and club after serving the Lilywhites so well in his 11 years in north London. Saving the team a number of occasions in past, the 36-year-old had to contend with a couple of injuries last campaign and his form suffered at various points with some notable errors creeping into his game.
Given the need to bring in a long-term replacement for him due to his age and his dip in form, previously reported that the club were looking at bringing in a new goalkeeper this summer.
