Tottenham need to reduce their squad in view of the official list to be provided for the Championship and it is “unlikely” that Spurs will retain three goalkeepers, coach Ange Postecoglou said on Friday when asked about the persistent sideline. by Hugo Lloris.
The 36-year-old Frenchman, in London since 2012, said he was open to leaving in June but the situation did not settle. He was left out of the first two Premier League matches and Italian rookie Guglielmo Vicario kept the cage, with Fraser Forster as an understudy on the bench.
As the transfer market closes on September 1 in England, Postecoglou hinted that Lloris would not fit into the list of 25 players (over 21) that every Premier League club must provide by September 13.
“You just can’t have the number of players you want. There is a list and it is unlikely that we will have three goalkeepers in our final list for the championship,” replied the coach to a question about the future of Lloris. The reigning vice-world champion, 36, is not the only one to be concerned since Tottenham currently has 31 players over the age of 21. Among them, Eric Dier, Tanguy Ndombele or Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could leave the club.
