Plenty of Tottenham Hotspur supporters have been reacting to a recent transfer report as the club have been linked with a Hugo Lloris replacement.
According to Estadio Deportivo, via Football Italia, Spurs are keen on signing Roma goalkeeper Pau Lopez, who has previously been on loan at the club, this summer.
The Spaniard was brought in by ex-manager Mauricio Pochettino, raiding his old club Espanyol for the 2016/17 campaign. However, Lopez failed to make a senior appearance for the north London side but did seven times for the u23 squad where he kept three clean sheets, via Transfermarkt.
Do Spurs need to replace Hugo Lloris?
Absolutely!
Not just yet
No way!
It’s claimed that the Serie A outfit would sell the 25-year-old for the right price with a €40m (£36m) fee mentioned.
This season, Lopez has been Roma’s first-choice between the sticks, replacing Liverpool’s Allison. He’s managed to keep nine clean sheets in 34 appearances in all competitions.
Some of the Spurs faithful would like to see the club make a move for the shot-stopper whilst others slammed their former boss for not giving him a chance and subsequently signing him all those years ago.
Here’s what has been said…
Poch blood on his hands again

Poch mistreated him and Janssen.

Getting this guy in a for a season of playing in the reserves and then sending him back was super weird. Everyone knew he was a talent. Why not sign him 3 years ago? https://t.co/LkeDwk8HBL

I don’t understand why we didn’t make this permanent to begin with, he was a class talent and he’s proving it at Espanyol now https://t.co/QFaH5DjvCL

This is a good signing

We messed up on this one
Should have signed him and loaned him to a prem team for 2/3 years
Would have been ready now if we done this— Alex (@alexcoys2020) June 14, 2020
Could signed him for a million and maybe loaned him out. Madness, no way will levy pay after that

We need a decent back up for Hugo, Vorm is beyond useless and Gazza is OK but not PL level. A decent keeper makes sense

Lopez has improved massively since he left us. First choice at Roma now so wont be cheap.

He’s so good, let’s do this

Another levy masterclass

Big mistake when we didn’t sign him a few years ago
