It was caught on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar network aiming for a goalkeeper replacement.
British media ‘The Sun’ reported on the 20th (Korean time), “Tottenham is aiming to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy (31). They are preparing to say goodbye to current captain Hugo Lloris (36).”
After joining Tottenham during the transfer window in the summer of 2012, Lloris has been active in the team for about 11 years. He is a legend who has played more than 400 games. He even went along with the team’s history. In the 2018-19 season, Tottenham played a significant role in advancing to the UEFA Champions League (UCL) for the first time.
But time doesn’t seem to stop it. Lloris’ performance has noticeably declined this season. He was prone to conceding goals through frequent mistakes. His poor performances, particularly against Arsenal in two matches against North London rivals, drew criticism from local media. In the 1-6 loss to Newcastle United, he helplessly allowed the opponent to concede.
In the end, Tottenham’s choice seems to be parting. A promising next destination is also considered. According to the British ‘Telegraph’, a club in Saudi Arabia has offered Lloris a threefold salary increase. Lloris is also known to be open to new challenges. If Lloris accepts the offer, he is guaranteed a £100,000 weekly wage (approximately 167 million won 먹튀검증).
I am trying to prepare for the departure of the main goalkeeper. According to ‘The Sun’, Tottenham put Chelsea’s Mendy as their first priority. Mendy was the starting goalkeeper during Chelsea’s Champions League victory in the 2020-21 season. In 2022, he also won the FIFA Club World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations. However, recently, Kepa Arizabalaga (28) has increased the waiting time on the bench. He has only played 12 games this season.
Even Chelsea are open to Mendy’s move. ‘The Sun’ said, “Chelsea is going through a major overhaul of the squad in the summer transfer market. Release of players is essential. Mendy is also included in the list.” There will be no,” he added.
