da 888casino： Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, Dean Windass believes reported Tottenham target Nick Pope could be the man replace Hugo Lloris in North London.
da lvbet： The Spurs captain has made over 350 appearances in all competitions since joining in 2012 from Lyon.
The French captain kept his first clean sheet since February 7 on Sunday with Jose Mourinho’s side recording a comfortable 4-0 win against Burnley, following it up with another against Fulham.
Nick Pope has been a formidable force between the sticks for both club and country since his debut in 2017 and he could be the reassuring hands Spurs need.
Lloris has managed 10 clean sheets in all competitions this campaign with Pope recording just one less, despite playing in a team fighting relegation.
With constant snubs from Gareth Southgate Pope may feel it is required to play for a bigger club if he is to ever change the manager’s perception of him being the best goalkeeper for England.
Dean Windass told Football FanCast in an exclusive interview that it may be the right time for change to happen.
He said: “Yeah, it’s coming to the end and Lloris making a few mistakes as well.
“Mourinho teams are not one really for playing from the back. They’re not a Manchester City or Liverpool where they’ve got a goalkeeper who like Man City’s goalkeeper could play in midfield, that’s how good he is.
“You’re not saying Lloris can play outfield and they don’t really play from the back. Nick Pope’s not great with his feet in my opinion.
“I’m an old school centre forward/wanting to be a manager so, for me first and foremost start with stop the ball going in the net.
“Some managers say can you play with your feet? Some managers say can you keep the ball out the net?
“Nick Pope’s been unbelievable, I think that would be great.”
Lloris will turn 36-years old this year with Pope still on the better side of 30-years old. The Burnley stopper would not likely come cheap, with the Mail Online reporting a £30 million price tag being put on him.
Spurs have looked shaky at the back this season, which is unusual for a Mourinho team. A fresh face and voice may be what’s required to get the defence into shape.
