Tottenham Hotspurs is reportedly interested on Alex Meret as their target to replace Hugo Lloris. The Napoli goalkeeper originally was identified by Antonio Conte as an option.

According to reports, the 26-year-old Italian, Meret, might be set to become Spurs’ first-choice pick to replace their club captain in the long term. Lloris seems to finally be replaced between the sticks at Tottenham after over a decade of service in north London.

Reports have previously reported on Tottenham’s interest in Meret, with Napoli open to selling the keeper for €30m (£26m) this summer even. This is the case even though the shot-stopper is playing a huge role in Luciano Spalletti’s side sitting 16 points clear at the top of Serie A.

Although, at 26, Meret is far from his peak despite enjoying an incredible year with Napoli. And for Tottenham, the Italian has all the qualities to become an exceptional replacement for Lloris. It would be a task that many Spurs supporters have been fearing for the past few months.

Tottenham are reportedly now deciding on Meret as their first-choice target. Although plans can now be put into place to bring the Italian to north London. The Napoli star is a perfect option to take over Lloris’ place in the starting XI for many years to come.
