Tottenham Hotspur fans react to Nick Pope speculation

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope is reportedly on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur.

Nick Pope of Burnley looks on during the Premier League match between Burnley and Brighton and Hove Albion at Turf Moor on April 28, 2018 in Burnley, England.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with a move for Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope.

According to The Mirror, Tottenham are interested in signing Pope from Premier League rivals Burnley.

It has been reported that Spurs are keeping tabs on the 26-year-old goalkeeper and want to sign him to provide competition for first-choice goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation regarding Pope – who earns £15,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com.

Below are some of the best comments:

#thfc have been linked with Burnley’s Nick Pope recently, but I feel that Stoke City’s Jack Butland would be a better signing.

Butland deserves to be in the #PremierLeague, and he can be the 1st choice keeper at Spurs after a few years when Lloris leaves.#COYS pic.twitter.com/bxv7t8I4ns

As soon as I see Spurs and rumour in the same sentence I switch off. Great young keeper but we probably won’t get anywhere near him

Already a very good keeper with huge potential to improve and definitely has the potential to make claim to the England spot long term.

He’d be a decent number 2, but Lloris is a class keeper. Made a couple of gaffs, but he’s just won the world cup, recovered from injury and the whole drink driving thing to deal with. Think he deserves a bit more loyalty.

From the limited amount we’ve seen of Gazza I’d give him a chance before we were to sign another keeper unless they were an obviously superior keeper and let’s be honest, we wouldn’t splash out on that sort of player anyway.

Sounds like good football sense to me,Pope is a class act and would be excellent competition for Lloris.
Dunno about replacing Lloris!

To replace Vorm maybe.

Fine for replacing Vorm, who will be out of contract this summer, could also be a good long term replacement for Lloris when he’s 33/34+.

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope looks on during the Premier League match between Burnley and Chelsea at Turf Moor on April 19, 2018 in Burnley, England.

Pope is a very good goalkeeper, and given that he is only 26 years of age, his best years are ahead of him.

The England international has fallen down the pecking order at Burnley, and although he would struggle to get games at Tottenham, leaving the Clarets for the North London would be a step up for him, and working with manager Mauricio Pochettino would also make him better in the coming years.
