Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly eyeing Alex Meret as a replacement for their long-serving goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris.
Meret, who currently plays for Napoli, was originally identified by Antonio Conte as a potential target.
According to NapoliCalcioLive, the 26-year-old Italian is set to become Spurs’ first-choice pick to replace Lloris in the long-term.
La Repubblica has previously reported on Tottenham’s interest in Meret, with Napoli open to selling the keeper for £26m this summer.
Meret has all the qualities to become an exceptional replacement for Lloris, who has been a stalwart for Tottenham for over a decade.
With Meret as their first-choice target, Tottenham can now plan to bring the Italian to north London and potentially kickstart a new era for the club.
Despite the challenge of replacing a player as big as Lloris, Meret’s skillset and impressive clean sheet record this season with Napoli make him a promising option for Spurs.
