**[Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) are reportedly closing in on the signing of Fenerbache goalkeeper Altay Bayindir after making an offer to the player.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs target Lloris replacement…

The Lilywhites have been [on the hunt](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/spurs-seeking-hugo-lloris-replacement/) for a Hugo Lloris replacement in recent months as the likes of Illan Meslier become[linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/spurs-seeking-hugo-lloris-replacement/) to joining Spurs.

Currently out through [injury](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/tottenham-hotspur-engtottenham/story/4872453/sources-tottenhams-lloris-out-for-six-weeks-with-injury#:~:text=Tottenham's%20Hugo%20Lloris%20ruled%20out,weeks%20with%20knee%20injury%20%2D%20sources&text=Tottenham%20Hotspur%20goalkeeper%20Hugo%20Lloris,Sunday%2C%20sources%20have%20told%20ESPN.), the France international has been on a [downward trajectory](https://talksport.com/football/1207744/hugo-lloris-tottenham-arsenal-gabriel-jesus-north-london-derby-goal/) when available this season – forcing manager [Antonio Conte](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/antonio-conte/) and sporting director Fabio Paratici to contemplate the future.

The [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) top-four hopefuls, according to a ‘[surprising claim’](https://www.fotospor.com/galeriler/fenerbahce-291/altay-tottenham-la-anlasma-imzaladi-126783#image1), appear to be closing in on their Lloris understudy and eventual heir.

### The Latest: Bayindir accepts Tottenham offer…

Indeed, as per news outlet [Fotospor,](https://www.fotospor.com/galeriler/fenerbahce-291/altay-tottenham-la-anlasma-imzaladi-126783#image3) Spurs are closing in on the signing of Bayindir from Fenerbache on a Bosman deal.

The Turkey international’s contract expires at the end of this season with Paratici and co making an ‘offer’ to the player – and one which he has ‘accepted’.

As such, it is believed that Bayindir now ‘signs \[a\] deal with Tottenham’, with the player putting pen to paper on a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ to join Conte.

### The Verdict: Good news?

The 6 foot 6 colossus has been an integral part of Fenerbache’s backline alongside central defensive ace Atilla Szalai, playing the joint-most Super Lig minutes in their squad [(WhoScored).](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/223/Show/Turkey-Fenerbahce)

Bayandir is still only very young in terms of goalkeeping years at 24-years-old, and on a free deal, this could be a potential signing of both value for money and real longevity in the squad.

Reports suggest that former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho, during his reign at the club, also took a real interest in the player – allegedly [giving the green-light](https://turkish-football.com/mourinho-green-lights-talks-with-20m-rated-player-altay-bayindir-club-official-sent-to-turkey/) for chairman Daniel Levy to open talks in 2020.

Indeed, it appears the north Londoners could do far worse than Bayandir, especially on a free.
