Tottenham have stepped up their search for a new goalkeeper as Hugo Lloris nears the end of his contract.
France World Cup-winner Lloris has been Tottenham’s first choice for nine years since joining from Lyon.
But he will be 35 on Boxing Day and there have been no talks about a new contract to supplement the one that expires at the end of the season.
And while there has not been a final decision made on Lloris’s future, there is now an acceptance that he may well leave.
