Paul Robinson has praised reported Tottenham Hotspur target Nick Pope on Racing Post.

The former Tottenham and Burnley goalkeeper believes that Pope will have offers in the summer of 2021.

The pundit has said the he was impressed by what he saw from Pope when he trained with him at Burnley.

The Daily Star reported last month that Tottenham and Manchester United are interested in signing the 28-year-old goalkeeper, who earns £35,000 per week as salary at Burnley, according to Spotrac.com.

The Daily Mail reported in February interest from Tottenham as well as West Ham United in Pope.

Robinson said about Pope on Racing Post: “We will see potentially some offers come in for him in the summer. There’s talk that Tottenham are looking at him if Lloris is to move on elsewhere. I rate Nick Pope. I trained with him a lot at Burnley. He has come on so much.”

Good signing for Tottenham Hotspur?

Hugo Lloris is a good goalkeeper, but the Frenchman is 34 years of age, and Spurs need to seriously think about finding a long-term successor.

Pope is 28, at the top of his game, and knows the Premier League inside out, and he would be a very good signing for Spurs, not just for now, but in the long run as well.

Burnley are an established club in the Premier League, but the Clarets are unlikely to challenge for the Champions League places on a regular basis anytime soon, and a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could be very tempting to Pope.
