As Tottenham Hotspur’s quest for a new goalkeeper continues, we today see a new name added to their list.
According to French journalist Ignazio Genuardi, Spurs have Nantes’ Alban Lafont as a target.
It’s claimed that by going after the 24-year-old, Tottenham could bet on a ‘less experienced’ goalkeeper than the likes of David Raya and Jordan Pickford.
Lafont is said to be ‘among the tracks’ Spurs are ‘studying’ as the club reportedly have a shortlist with five players on it.
Lafont is currently protected by the French side with a contract until 2024, and that may force them to sell in this window and he would be far cheaper than alternatives.
He’s currently valued by Transfermarkt at €20m, and that could definitely make him a cheaper target than others that Spurs have an eye on.
The goalkeeper used to belong to Fiorentina, and was signed by Nantes in 2019, first on a loan deal, then bought in 2021 for €7.5m.
With his club not having a great year, he conceded 78 goals this season, but still managed to keep 13 clean sheets in 48 games.
