# Tottenham Hotspur: Lilywhites now want Aaron Ramsdale

**According to a report by [the Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9673453/Tottenham-interested-signing-Sheffield-United-goalkeeper-Aaron-Ramsdale.html), Tottenham Hotspur have now become one of the teams interested in signing Sheffield United keeper Aaron Ramsdale this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Lloris replacement?

As long-time number one Hugo Lloris’ future hangs in the balance at Tottenham, and with no new deal agreed yet, links will keep emerging to his possible heir.

The Frenchman has been a mainstay for Tottenham since he signed from Lyon in the summer of 2012, making 373 appearances for the Lilywhites in all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hugo-lloris/profil/spieler/17965)).

His current contract expires at the end of next season, though, with Spurs seemingly contemplating his replacement between the sticks.

### The Latest: Spurs now want Ramsdale…

As per the Daily Mail, Spurs are now looking at Blades keeper Ramsdale and could offer him a route back into the Premier League after he was relegated last season.

Named on England’s standby list for Euro 2020, the 23-year-old finished 2020/2021 as, arguably, one of the Yorkshire side’s bright sparks in what was a disappointing campaign.

Wolves are also said to be eyeing a move for the 6 foot 2 Ramsdale but Spurs are now ‘planning’ for life without Lloris as he continues to be linked with a move away.

### The Verdict: Good shout?

He has no shortage of praise from both coaching staff at Bramall Lane and big name pundits.

Alan Shearer, for example, told the [Premier League’s YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1A-sjKrycU&t=406s) recently that Ramsdale is ‘strong’ and ‘fearless’ whilst carrying ‘lots of potential’.

Meanwhile, former Blades interim manager Paul Heckingbottom also lauded him as ‘excellent’ for his end of season form ([Yorkshire Post](https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/everton-v-sheffield-united-aaron-ramsdales-value-soaring-despite-second-successive-relegation-3237990)).

As a result, we believe he should definitely be considered at the very least – especially given his potentially cheap price tag after Sheffield United’s relegation.
