Hugo Lloris’s recent form for Tottenham Hotspur has not been great.

Tim Sherwood has told BT Sport that Tottenham Hotspur should start looking for a replacement for Hugo Lloris.

Lloris is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, but the France international has been making costly mistakes in recent times, including the one against Liverpool.

Former Tottenham manager Sherwood believes that the North London outfit should look for a better player between the posts.

Ex-Arsenal striker John Hartson, though, seems to rate Lloris highly, and has suggested that Tottenham should keep their faith in the former Lyon star.

Sherwood said about Lloris on BT Sport: “For me, he is a good goalkeeper. Try and find better and then make that decision.”

Hartson said about Lloris on BT Sport: “Top, top goalkeepers are hard to find, and I believe, World Cup winner, top, top keeper.”

Sell or keep?

Lloris has been on the books of Tottenham since the summer of 2012 and is the undisputed number one between the posts at the North London outfit.

The 32-year-old, though. does need to be pushed and has to fight for his place in the starting lineup to avoid any kind of complacency.

It is going to be hard for Tottenham to find an establish goalkeeper who is better than Lloris in the summer transfer window, but perhaps, the Premier League club should bring in a promising and young player who can take over from the Frenchman in one or two years’ time.
