According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur fear Hugo Lloris may leave to join Mauricio Pochettino at Paris Saint-Germain.
Pochettino has agreed to become PSG boss, and whilst Dele Alli could be one of his targets from Spurs, Lloris may end up being another.
The Argentinian allegedly wants to sign Lloris at the end of the season, and would be viewed as a replacement for Keylor Navas as first-choice goalkeeper.
Lloris is now 34 and has spent more than eight years with Spurs, so few would really blame him if he did fancy a new challenge.
Tottenham have allegedly started to look for potential replacements in case Lloris does go, and they have two players in mind.
One of them is Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson, though that could be a very expensive move in terms of a transfer fee and wages.
The other is Sam Johnstone, who has been shining for West Bromwich Albion this season, making 66 saves – more than any other Premier League goalkeeper, with Sam Allardyce calling him ‘one of the best’.
Whether West Brom stay up or not, Johnstone will likely remain in the Premier League – and Tottenham may well be willing to offer him a big move to North London as a replacement for Lloris, should Pochettino come calling.
