Nottingham Forest star on Tottenham transfer shortlist as Hugo Lloris future claim made

Nottingham Forest loanee Dean Henderson is reportedly on Tottenham's shortlist in their search for a long-term successor to Hugo Lloris.

The 25-year-old joined Forest in the summer on a season-long loan and caught the eye with his impressive performances, prior to injury. Henderson is currently sidelined with a muscular problem he sustained in Forest's 2-0 win over Leicester City in January.

Although he is set to return to Old Trafford in the summer, his future is yet to be decided. Sources suggest that United are set to sanction the sale of the likes of Anthony Martial, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, Brandon Williams, Henderson and Harry Maguire.

That would open the door to Spurs who are scouring the market to find the goalkeeper they believe is in the same level as Lloris, according to our sister title, Football.London. The Frenchman retired from international football last month after being part of the World Cup final with France.

At 36, Lloris signed a contract extension with Spurs which will run until the summer of 2024. However, he also hinted that Spurs would not be his final club in his playing career and has been previously linked with a return to his hometown Nice as well as the MLS in the USA.

It was first reported in December that Spurs were planning to make a move for a new long-term first choice goalkeeper in the summer. Along with Henderson, Spurs' shortlist includes Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, Brentford's David Raya, Brighton's Robert Sanchez, AC Milan's Mike Maignan, Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez and Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak.

However, Spurs boss Antonio Conte's future in north London is also a doubt beyond the summer.
