Dean Henderson is back on the Tottenham Hotspur radar as the club consider potential replacements for Hugo Lloris ahead of next season, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

Lloris has arguably been one of Spurs’ best players this term. He was certainly one of their better performers towards the end of last season.

However, as things stand, he is set to leave the club on a free transfer next summer. The Daily Mail reports that his contract at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium expires at the end of the campaign.

And so far, there have been no talks about a new deal. Tottenham are also considering possible targets.

Jordan Pickford has recently been linked. But the Daily Mail suggests that Sam Johnstone is also on the radar. Like Lloris, his current contract is only set to run until the summer.

Landing Johnstone would be a potential bargain. But it would appear that they also have their eye on a more ambitious move.

According to the Daily Mail, they are aware of Henderson’s frustrations at Manchester United. The 24-year-old has not featured at all in the Premier League this season.

Tottenham hopes of finally landing Dean Henderson surely not helped by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s departure

Tottenham have been linked with Henderson on a few occasions in the past. And it had appeared that the England international – who was valued at around £40 million earlier this year – may be approaching a pivotal moment in his career.

David De Gea remains the first-choice at Old Trafford. And at 31, the Spaniard could hang around for another three or four years if he ends up emulating Lloris’ longevity at Spurs.

So Henderson will certainly have questions about his future.

However, answering those questions is a lot more difficult now that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is gone and Manchester United are looking for a new manager.

His replacement may take a different view on the goalkeeping situation at Old Trafford.

With that in mind, Tottenham may have to be prepared to wait some time before they get a better idea of whether Henderson could indeed succeed Lloris.
