# It’s time for Tottenham to move on from Hugo Lloris and sign 1 of these 2 talented youngsters

***Tottenham are a team on the up, that much is clear. They’re yet to make a major signing this summer, but with a core group of internationals like Dele Alli and Harry Kane, the only way is up.***

However, the longer they go without success, the more concerning their long-term future begins to look. The reality is that top players want to win trophies, and at present, the Lilywhites’ trophy cabinet is empty.

When a big team comes in for a player, then, it’s always a worry. [Reports from the Sun linking Hugo Lloris with a potential £60 million move to Real Madrid, then, are concerning.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6856708/hugo-lloris-real-madrid-tottenham-60m-bid/) He’s one of Europe’s best goalkeepers, and he’s vital to Mauricio Pochettino’s plans.

However, his mixed form last season cannot be understated, and at 31-years-old, he’s hardly in his prime. Perhaps, then, a sale wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Indeed, maybe it actually makes sense.

After all, Pochettino has been brilliant at bringing in young players and turning them into world-beaters. Could he do the same again?

Perhaps it’s time for Tottenham to move on from Hugo Lloris and sign 1 of these 2 talented youngsters…

Gianluigi Donnarumma is perhaps the best-known young goalkeeper in Europe.

The Italian has the potential to be the long-term replacement for Gianluigi Buffon for the Italian national side, and that’s a testament to his quality.

He had a poor year last season, all things considered, but what 19-year-old professional hasn’t had a bad spell in their youth?

In terms of raw talent, he’s one of Europe’s best for his age – and he could be the perfect signing with an eye to the future.

Mile Svilar would undeniably be a high-risk signing. After all, he made just 3 league appearances for Benfica last season, and he’s known for a rather calamitous error against Man Utd in the Champions League.

However, look beneath the surface, and Pochettino will see a brilliantly talented goalkeeper.

Not to mention, at just 18, he’s got more than few years to hone his craft and develop.

He’s perhaps not quite as first-team ready as Donnarumma, but he could surprise fans – and a few months under Pochettino could make all the difference.
