AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma would be a good signing for Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.

Hugo Lloris is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but the Tottenham Hotspur star has made mistakes from time to time this season, just like the one against Stoke City in the Premier League at the weekend.

The 31-year-old still has a fair few years left in him at the very top level, but the France international’s errors this campaign should make Spurs think about his long-term future.

Lloris does not face any strong competition at Spurs and is the undisputed number one between the posts.

That has to change, and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy can do that by signing one of the best young goalkeepers on the planet – AC Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Donnarumma is only 19 years of age, but the Italy international goalkeeper has been playing regular first-team football since he was 16.

A first-team regular at Milan, one of the biggest and most historic clubs in the world, the youngster would be a superb addition to the Tottenham team.

Not only would Donnarumma instantly make Lloris work harder for his place in the team, but the Italian goalkeeper would also give manager Mauricio Pochettino a tough choice to make.

Lloris made a mistake against Stoke at the bet365 Stadium this past weekend, but the Frenchman will know that he will play regardless against Manchester City next weekend.

Moreover, signing Donnarumma would be a massive statement of intent from Tottenham in regard to their future and their ambition to establish themselves among Europe’s elite.
