PSG are keen to sign Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, report AS.
What’s the word?
The French champions are looking to sign a stopper this summer, with both Manchester United’s David De Gea and AC Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma listed as potential targets.
However, they are both seen as prohibitively expensive and Lloris, who has captained Spurs to the Champions League final and won the World Cup with France last summer, is seen as a more attainable acquisition.
The 32-year-old joined the London club in 2012 and the report states that they are keen to reward his service by facilitating his transfer this summer, should he so desire it.
An opportunity not to pass up
This is a rare opportunity for Spurs and they should absolutely cash in on Lloris if a big bid is made.
This season, he has made a number of mistakes despite the side’s success in Europe and is perhaps the most upgradeable player in the first-choice starting XI.
Indeed, he cost his side a point against Liverpool at Anfield – Spurs could well have secured a top-four finish prior to the final day of the season if they’d held on – and was also involved in a horrific mix-up with Kieran Trippier against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge that saw the England right-back score an own goal.
Now, that is not to say that it’ll be simple for PSG to lure him to France but they have seemingly endless resources at their disposal and chairman Daniel Levy should use that to his advantage.
He is, of course, a feared negotiator and he should be trying to extract the biggest fee possible from the Parisien giants.
That money then has to be reinvested – preferably on a goalkeeper who makes fewer errors than Lloris – but this could be the prime opportunity to cash in.
He will be 33 in December and PSG rarely come knocking twice.
