Goalkeeper - Hugo Lloris

According to reports from The Telegraph and The Metro, Manchester United are preparing a cash-plus-player bid for Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. 

The Spurs No.1 has been in fantastic form this season to make the most saves, 82, of any goalkeeper in the Premier League’s top six. Now 28 years of age and skipper of the France national team, however, there’s been plenty of talk of him leaving White Hart Lane for Champions League football this summer – as claimed by The Guardian last month.

This Is Futbol revealed last week that Spurs are attempting to nullify interest in Lloris by lumping the former Lyon man with a £40million price-tag. Manchester United are considered to be his leading suitors, viewing the Frenchman as the ideal replacement for Real Madrid-linked No.1 David De Gea.

And The Telegraph now claim the Red Devils have come up with an inventive solution; they’ll offer £25million plus Victor Valdes in exchange for Lloris this summer.

The Spain international is yet to make a Premier League appearance for Manchester United since signing for them in October after several months without a club, but he won six La Liga titles, three Champions League titles, five Zamora trophies and two La Liga Goalkeeper of the Year awards during his decade as Barcelona’s first choice goalkeeper.
