Michel Vorm’s contract at Tottenham Hotspur is set to expire at the end of the season.

Mauricio Pochettino’s comments to the Football.London about Michel Vorm show why the Dutchman is best off leaving Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

Vorm’s contract expires at the end of the season, and it is not yet clear whether he will be given a deal to stay at Spurs.

But Pochettino’s quotes show why the time may have come for Spurs to part ways with the Dutchman.

“Hugo [Lloris] is one of the best, Michel can play in any team in the Premier League and Paulo [Gazzaniga] is a potentially great, great keeper,” Pochettino said yesterday.

Pochettino’s admission that Vorm could play for any Premier League side shows why he’s wasted on the bench at Spurs.

The stopper is now reaching the twilight of his career, and surely should have more ambition than to be understudy to Hugo Lloris for another year.

Vorm has generally proven reliable back-up at Spurs, but he should pursue first-team football again now.

The £5 million signing for Swansea has made just 43 appearances for Spurs in the last four years.

And the time could be right for Tottenham to get rid off the goalkeeper.

Pochettino clearly has great faith in Gazzaniga’s potential, and the Argentine boss would be wise to promote his compatriot to Spurs’ second choice, if Vorm does depart.
