# Tottenham: Spurs hatch Yassine Bounou transfer plan

**[Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) have hatched a transfer plan as they eye a move for Sevilla goalkeeping star Yassine ‘Bono’ Bounou, according to reports.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs interested…

Recent [claims](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/yassine-bounou-transfer-news-rumours-latest/) have suggested that the 31-year-old is a player of real interest to Spurs as [Antonio Conte](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/antonio-conte/)‘s side search for a long-term Hugo Lloris replacement.

The north Londoners are apparently on the look out for a shot-stopper who can fill Lloris’ boots as the France international nears the end of his time at Hotspur Way.

Jordan Pickford and Illan Meslier are also [among the goalkeepers linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/spurs-seeking-hugo-lloris-replacement/) with a potential move to Tottenham but a report from [La Razon](https://www.larazon.es/deportes/laotraliga/tottenham-quiere-usar-bryan-gil-fichar-bono-sevilla_2023021363eab01eb5cd320001274efc.html) has now shared an interesting Bounou update.

### The Latest: Tottenham hatch Bono transfer plan…

[According to the Spanish media outlet](https://www.larazon.es/deportes/laotraliga/tottenham-quiere-usar-bryan-gil-fichar-bono-sevilla_2023021363eab01eb5cd320001274efc.html), Spurs want to use young midfielder Bryan Gil, currently on loan at Sevilla, in  a possible swap deal for Bono to lower the player’s price tag.

It’s claimed that Tottenham are ‘confident of achieving a significant reduction’ by including Gil in a proposed deal with ‘Bono’ currently commanding a €50 million (£44m) release clause.

Finding an heir to Lloris has apparently ‘become an obsession’ for Tottenham, so much so that they have set their sights on Bounou whilst hatching this plan.

### The Verdict: Right move?

This update comes as a bit of a mixed bag considering the real potential Gil still carries.

Unable to get a look-in under Conte, there is no guarantee the Italian stays at N17 past the 2022/2023 campaign, potentially opening the door for Gil to become a future key player.

The importance of finding a successor for Lloris is important and we believe Bono is certainly a top candidate for the role.

The Morocco international starred for his nation on their run to the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar last year with national team boss Walid Regragui even calling him [‘one of the best’](https://twitter.com/samindrakunti/status/1601646863249440769) keepers on the planet.

Members of the media also branded him ‘[world class](https://twitter.com/osasuo/status/1601660087923511296)‘ for his performances in the Middle East, thereby raising the player’s stock and making him a man in demand.

There is no denying the African’s obvious class, but a potential Gil-swap may come as bitter news for some Spurs supporters who want to see their midfielder eventually blossom in England.
