Your Tottenham morning transfer round-up on Saturday, January 21
Lloris alternatives
Tottenham must ensure that they find Hugo Lloris' long-term successor this summer as they plan for the future. Turning 36 on Boxing Day, the Frenchman, who is now in the final 18 months of his Spurs deal, has unfortunately made a number of high-profile errors over the course of the season.
Scoring an own goal in last weekend's North London Derby against Arsenal, Lloris was once again in the spotlight on Thursday evening following Spurs' 4-2 defeat away at Man City. As well as he has served the club since his move from Lyon in 2012, Tottenham ideally need to bring in his replacement after struggling to find their man in recent seasons.
So who exactly could Tottenham look at in the summer transfer window? football.london takes a look at five possible options below.
Tottenham urged to sell trio
Speaking on talkSPORT, former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor was asked what he would do with members of the team and gave a scathing assessment on a certain trio. On club captain Hugo Lloris he said: "Make him get the ferry, not even fly him out. Mistake after mistake."
Lloris was criticised for his role in Arsenal's opener, which went down as his own goal after parrying Bukayo Saka's cross into his own net. He then couldn't get close to Martin Odegaard's long range effort for the second. Spurs are reportedly keen on England shot-stopper Jordan Pickford as a replacement.
His international teammate Eric Dier was another one that Agbonlahor wanted to see moved on though. "Sell. He’s too slow," the pundit said. As for Emerson Royal, the wing-back has been slammed for his performances on the right side of Conte's defence and Agbonlahor didn't hold back.
Ziyech arrival possibility
According to The Telegraph, Chelsea have made an inquiry for Tottenham's Yves Bissouma. Despite only joining the north Londoners in the summer, the Mali international in another former Seagulls player who has been linked with a reunion with Potter at SW6.
However, the report claims Tottenham do not want to sell Bissouma this month and have not entertained Chelsea's offer for the 26-year-old, which would include Hakim Ziyech moving to Spurs. After improving matters in the final third, Boehly's focus for the remaining week of the window looks set to be in midfield.
Bissouma is one of various players that saw their value sky-rocket under Potter at Brighton. Last season, the midfielder's performances warranted plenty of praise before he moved to Tottenham. "His high-end actions are Champions League level," Potter said in April.
