Sports"Under a bit of pressure" - Exclusive: Graham Roberts makes Hugo Lloris claim at THFC
Former Tottenham captain Graham Roberts reckons Hugo Lloris’ number one spot could come under threat from Pierluigi Gollini.
The Frenchman has been Spurs’ first-choice goalkeeper for the best part of his nine years in north London.
However, the club have never quite had an adequate back-up, with neither Michel Vorm nor Joe Hart putting Lloris under a considerable amount of pressure, even when mistakes were made.
But that could change following the season-long loan addition of Gollini, who’s been Atalanta’s number one for the previous three years and has played in the Champions League in the last two.
And whilst the Italian has arrived with a view to replacing Lloris once his contract expires next summer, when asked what sort of role he expects Gollini to play, Roberts told The Transfer Tavern:
“I think he will put Lloris under a little bit of pressure.”
Gollini looked confident and assured during his debut against Chelsea in pre-season, making some impressive saves.
However, he’s been signed to play in the UEFA Conference League and domestic cups, which should leave him in good stead for when Lloris moves on and he becomes first-choice in 2022-2023.
