Tottenham are reportedly looking to bring in Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford as a replacement for Hugo Lloris – and Spurs fans have responded.

Lloris, 34, is out of contract at the end of the season. The Spurs skipper told media this week that he would like to enter talks over extending his deal.

But those have not been forthcoming as of now, with Lloris just six weeks away from being eligible for a pre-contract move to a non-English side.

Indeed, The Telegraph claims Antonio Conte is looking to find a replacement. He wants a goalkeeper in his prime – Everton’s Pickford.

The England no.1 remains one of the first names on the team sheet for club and country. He has clocked up 50 clean sheets in 172 games for Everton.

The Telegraph claim Antonio Conte wants Tottenham to raid Everton and sign Pickford. Everton are confident they can get a fee north of £25million.

What do Tottenham fans think as Conte eyes Everton ace Pickford?

Firstly, Lloris is a top goalkeeper and if Tottenham can get him to sign a contract for another 12 months – than that is a deal worth pursuing.

If a deal cannot be reached, then Pickford is the next best alternative. He has a bit of everything that Conte would want from his goalkeeper.

It is stated Conte likes a goalkeeper in his prime and Pickford is certainly of that age. Financial Fairplay may play a part in Everton’s thinking.

They need to sell to be able to spend, and selling Pickford for more than £25million would help. Tottenham fans have reacted on Twitter.
