Tottenham Hotspur are ‘watching carefully’, as Mike Maignan edges closer to an exit at Lille, according to Le 10 Sport.
The French side are said to be ready to listen to offers for the goalkeeper, with their technical director, Luis Campos, now expecting him to depart.
Tottenham have made Maignan one of their top targets this season, with Jose Mourinho believed to be a huge fan.
The Spurs boss is said to see the 25-year-old is the ideal replacement for Hugo Lloris, who hasn’t fully convinced this season.
While Tottenham are not certain to sell Lloris, if they do, a move for Maignan is now said to be expected.
Le 10 have previously claimed that a bid of around £18 million would be enough to convince Lille to sell.
If Maignan was to sign for Tottenham he could well be part of a new look Spurs defence for next season.
Mourinho’s side have struggled defensively this term, and the Portuguese boss is likely to be hunting plenty of new additions in the summer – if his budget allows it.
