Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is making headlines for the wrong reasons once again.

The Daily Mail has reported that Tottenham Hotspur won’t be signing a new goalkeeper this summer, in light of Hugo Lloris’s error at Anfield.

The France keeper made a stoppage-time error which led to Liverpool beating Tottenham 2-1 on Sunday.

It isn’t the first mistake that the 32-year-old has made this season but, according to The Daily Mail, Spurs are aware that it would take a ‘huge financial commitment’ to sign a new stopper and therefore will elect against it.

But the report adds that Lilywhites boss Mauricio Pochettino views Paulo Gazzaniga as Lloris’s long-term successor in North London.

The Daily Mail also claims that Christian Eriksen – contracted until 2020 – is ‘likely’ to leave Tottenham this summer and that Pochettino will be on the hunt for two new central midfielders, especially if Victor Wanyama leaves.

Pochettino hasn’t signed anybody since January of 2018 but one point from the last 15 on offer in the Premier League illustrates Spurs’ need for reinforcements ahead of next season.

They christen their new stadium tomorrow in the visit of Crystal Palace tomorrow night.
