Tottenham’s goalkeeping issues

Tottenham face a bit of an issue currently with Hugo Lloris out till 2020.

The Spurs captain dislocated his elbow in the loss to Brighton and has been replaced by Paulo Gazzaniga in between the sticks.

Michel Vorm was re-signed just months after leaving Tottenham as a free agent.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the goalkeeping department in the coming months.

Lloris has made mistakes in the past, but the Frenchman is one of the most experienced players in the Premier League.

Gazzaniga has done well in place of the Tottenham captain, but we can still do with more quality in the goalkeeping department.

Vorm may not get many games this season and should be seen as a stop-gap until Lloris is back from his injury.
