Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is back in management – and he may just be eyeing a swoop on Spurs.

The Sun report that Pochettino has his eye on Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, and may attempt to offer him a reunion in the French capital.

Lloris is 34 and may yet fancy heading back home, and the report states that Spurs are already eyeing up a potential replacement.

It’s stated that Spurs could move for Sam Johnstone or Dean Henderson, seemingly eyeing a homegrown goalkeeper if Lloris leaves.

Jose Mourinho will know both goalkeepers from his time at Manchester United, and Johnstone is certainly impressing at West Bromwich Albion this season.

Some fans seem to think Johnstone would be a good addition, as he looks to be on an upward trajectory and has proven himself as a fine goalkeeper this season.

Others think Johnstone simply isn’t good enough for Spurs and shouldn’t one of Tottenham’s top choice if Lloris goes, questioning whether he’s of the quality needed.
