Tottenham reportedly have eyes on Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana ahead of the January transfer window.

According to the Sun, Spurs have the the shot-stopper top of their wish list to potentially replace Hugo Lloris.

The report explains that Dutch giants Ajax would be open to selling their goalkeeper if an appropriate offer was received, which would need to be between £30million and £35million.

Onana is an exciting young player that has proven himself to be a brick wall in the Eredivisie, as well as impressing in the Champions League and also earning eight senior international caps for Cameroon.

The 23-year-old is already extremely mature for a goalkeeper and is someone that has great reflect, as well as possessing the ability to play out from the back comfortably.

But as Mauricio Pochettino’s side eye the Ajax talent, current Spurs star Paulo Gazzaniga should be worried.

With Lloris currently sidelined through injury, it has opened the door for Gazzaniga in the last month to be the temporary first-choice goalkeeper.

The Argentina has played in seven games across all competitions so far and made a number of exceptional saves, despite winning just one of those matches.

He’s come into net during a difficult run of form for the team, but is a fairly consistent option in goal and some may see him as the natural long-term successor to Lloris, who turns 33 in December.

Gazzaniga should have a real point to prove in the next coulee of months in a Spurs shirt and needs to try convince the club’s hierarchy that they don’t need to go searching the transfer market for their next number one.
