# Tottenham: Spurs set sights on Jordan Pickford

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) have now set their sights on Everton goalkeeper [Jordan Pickford](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jordan-pickford/) as a long-term replacement for Hugo Lloris, according to a new report.**

### The Lowdown: Pickford a target for Conte

Hugo Lloris has been a loyal servant to Tottenham, making an incredible [439](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hugo-lloris/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/17965) appearances for the club, but he is now 36-years-old, and Antonio Conte has seemingly started to think about long-term replacements.

It has previously been [reported](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/premier-league-spurs-jordan-pickford-hugo-lloris-transfer-update-latest-rumours/) that Pickford is the manager’s ‘main objective’ to replace the Frenchman, with the Everton man emerging as England’s first-choice keeper, making [50](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-pickford/nationalmannschaft/spieler/130164) caps, and there is now belief that they could tempt him into a move.

### The Latest: Spurs confident

According to a [report](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-everton-pickford-lloris-transfers-28899427) from the Mirror, Spurs are indeed targeting the 28-year-old as a successor to Lloris, and they now believe that they can tempt him, given his contract stand-off with the Toffees, yet to agree a deal to remain at Goodison beyond [2024](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-pickford/profil/spieler/130164).

The allure of playing Champions League football could entice the Englishman into the move, with his current side struggling considerably in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) this season, now [sitting](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) in the relegation zone.

### The Verdict: Get it done?

While Everton are enduring a difficult campaign, the former Sunderland man has been a shining light in a poor team, ranked as the third-best average performer in the squad, with an average SofaScore rating of [7.11](https://www.sofascore.com/team/football/everton/48).

The shot-stopper has made [68](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/saves) saves in the Premier League, the second-highest amount of any player, and so the Toffees are very fortunate to have him in goal, or they could be in even more danger than they already are.

[Lauded](https://twitter.com/JeffWallner/status/1410203434666631175?s=20&t=WdnoXSpoP1GN43v_p13pQw) as ‘sensational’ by journalist Jeff Wallner, while also being [said](https://twitter.com/NJEmms/status/1601722194567974912?s=20&t=yZHlvn-kCfHCkeou0_g4NQ) to have ‘world class distribution’ by Nick Emms, Pickford would be the perfect successor for Lloris, and at 28 he could be a mainstay between the sticks for many years to come.
