Tottenham Hotspur are expected to sign a goalkeeper in the coming months and Liverpool star Caoimhin Kelleher has been linked with a move to the North London club.
Tottenham currently have Guglielmo Vicario and Fraser Forster as their goalkeeping options. Forster will leave the club at the end of the season and he needs to be replaced adequately. They need to bring in someone who can compete with Vicario for the starting spot.
The 26-year-old Liverpool goalkeeper could prove to be a quality acquisition. He has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League with Liverpool, but he might need to leave the club in the coming months.
The player has been linked with a move to Tottenham in the past as well.
Kelleher will want to play regularly and Liverpool will not be able to provide him with that platform. Alisson Becker is still the first-choice goalkeeper at the club and they have already signed Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will join the club next season.
It makes sense for Kelleher to leave the club permanently in the summer. A move to Tottenham could be an exciting opportunity for the player, especially if they are prepared to provide him with gametime assurances. Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes that he would be a brilliant option for his former club.
Robinson said to Football Insider: “Kelleher’s time at Liverpool with Marmadashvili coming in, that would be a brilliant option if we were talking in the summer.”
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can secure an agreement with Liverpool.
Kelleher is well-settled in English football and he could make an instant impact at Tottenham. He could push the Italian goalkeeper for the starting spot. Competition for places will help Tottenham improve as a squad.
Tottenham will be hoping to win major trophies in the coming seasons, and they need a deeper squad to do well across multiple competitions.
