It would be an understatement to say that Tottenham’s backline is in need of desperate repairs, and that even includes the goalkeeping position.

Hugo Lloris has had an injury-hit season that has seen the club captain miss a number of games, and back-up keeper Paulo Gazzaniga has done little to improve his standing with Jose Mourinho with a string of underwhelming performances, which is where Ben Foster comes into the picture.
Should Tottenham replace Hugo Lloris?
Yes
No
The Watford keeper has been rumoured with a move to Tottenham this week as The Telegraph report that Spurs are interested in the now 36-year-old Premier League star, and for some supporters on social media, Foster just isn’t the player that can come in and replace the likes of Lloris and Gazzaniga.
Here’s what some Tottenham fans had to say about the rumour on Twitter…
What a joke!

God no. My most hated keeper. Still, vs wolves we’d have won. 2-1 up at half time. Get them to bang it out for a goal kick in the 46th minute. Game over

Lets hope not. He is only good at time wasting.

With Foster’s contract with Watford expiring this summer, the former West Brom keeper could be a player of significant interest from a number of the clubs in the transfer window.
