# Tottenham: Further Jordan Pickford update emerges

**Tottenham have taken further steps in their attempts to sign Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford this month, according to [Tuttomercatoweb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/calcio-estero/tmw-tottenham-passi-in-avanti-per-pickford-1629535).**

### The Lowdown: Conte keen

[Reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/tottenham-hotspur-antonio-conte-lining-up-new-target-in-jordan-pickford/) emerged back in November that Antonio Conte was personally targeting Pickford as he lines up a shortlist of options to replace Hugo Lloris.

The Spurs captain is [out of contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hugo-lloris/profil/spieler/17965) in the summer, and although it appears the French shot-stopper will [extend](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/fabrizio-romano-latest-lloris-spurs-future/) his stay for a further 12 months, there are also question marks over the future of Pierluigi Gollini.

Some [reports](https://www.footballinsider247.com/insider-gollinis-tottenham-career-could-be-over-amid-hotspur-way-rumours/) believe the Italian’s Tottenham career is already over, so Conte will likely need at least one new shot-stopper.

Sam Johnstone has also been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/tottenham-talksport-make-on-air-sam-johnstone-claim/) with a move to north London in recent weeks, however, it seems as if Pickford is still on Conte and Fabio Paratici’s radar during the January window.

### The Latest: Italian outlet’s update

According to [Tuttomercatoweb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/calcio-estero/tmw-tottenham-passi-in-avanti-per-pickford-1629535), ‘steps forward’ have been taken in Tottenham’s pursuit of Pickford.

The 27-year-old, valued at [£22.5m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-pickford/profil/spieler/130164), is under contract at Goodison Park until [2024](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-pickford/profil/spieler/130164), however, Spurs seem to be working on a possible transfer this month.

### The Verdict: Risky…

Pickford, labelled as [‘one of the best’](https://talksport.com/football/906635/england-jordan-pickford-best-goalkeeper-world-euro-2020-everton/) by Trevor Sinclair, still has over two years on his Toffees deal, so you’d expect Spurs would need to place a big offer to lure him to north London, especially given his status as England’s number one.

However, West Brom ‘keeper Johnstone is [out of contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sam-johnstone/profil/spieler/110864) at the end of June, and with Lloris set to stay until 2023, the Baggies star could be the smarter signing if Tottenham are after a second-choice option for 2022/23.

Samir Handanović is another alternative [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/tottenham-hotspur-samir-handanovic-transfer-news-latest-gossip-thfc-conte-paratici-galetti-inter-milan/) this week and likely to come much cheaper, given he is out of [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/samir-handanovic/profil/spieler/28021) this summer and 37 years of age.

It appears as if Conte personally wants Pickford, though, so this could be one to keep a close eye on over the coming weeks.
