Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Thomas Strakosha.
West Ham United playmaker Felipe Anderson has told Soccer AM that he thinks Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha will ‘get to the top’ of the game amid links to Tottenham Hotspur.
Anderson made a move from Lazio to West Ham last summer, becoming the Hammers’ record signing as Manuel Pellegrini pushed hard to sign the Brazilian.
The 25-year-old has starred this season, earning a recall to the Brazilian national team, and he has now been asked to pick his ideal five-a-side team.
Speaking to Soccer AM, Anderson picked former Lazio teammate Thomas Strakosha in goal, with the Albanian in the headlines recently given links to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Sun report that Spurs are interested in signing £35million Strakosha as a potential successor to Hugo Lloris, who has struggled at times this season.
The 24-year-old has starred in Serie A, and looks to have huge potential for the future, which Spurs are looking for as they consider life after error-prone Lloris.
Now, Anderson has given his verdict on Strakosha, predicting a big future for his former teammate, praising his ability on the ball and how he has dealt with the pressure of playing in Rome – words that would certainly excite Spurs fans.
“First of all, he’s young, he’s growing and improving a lot and I think he will go very far in his career,” said Anderson. “I think he will get to the top because aside from his quality he’s working to improve every day, he has a big responsibility to play in such a tough team and city. He has a great personality and also plays well with his feet, and I like those kinds of goalkeepers,” he added.
