Tottenham identify AC Milan star Mike Maignan as an alternative to David Raya

According to the Athletic, Tottenham have set their sights on AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan as they continue their search for a successor to Hugo Lloris.

The Lilywhites have been monitoring the situation closely, with multiple sources indicating that David Raya was initially their top choice. However, it appears that negotiations with Brentford have hit a stumbling block, prompting Tottenham to explore other options.

Spurs are now considering the possibility of pursuing Mike Maignan. The French shot-stopper, who still has three years remaining on his contract with AC Milan, has emerged as a potential alternative.

This development follows previous reports that Tottenham had already reached an agreement on personal terms with Raya. However, the club remains at odds with Brentford over the transfer fee, with the Championship side valuing their goalkeeper at a staggering £40 million.

Maignan’s inclusion on Tottenham’s radar demonstrates the club’s ambition to secure a reliable and talented goalkeeper. The 27-year-old has been a key figure for AC Milan since joining from Lille in 2021.

With his solid shot-stopping abilities and excellent command of the penalty area, Maignan has showcased his quality at the highest level. While negotiations for Raya have encountered obstacles, Tottenham’s interest in Maignan underscores their determination to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.

Despite the potential cost involved in acquiring the French international, it is clear that Spurs are prepared to invest in a top-class goalkeeper who can seamlessly transition into the starting role.

Maignan’s addition would bring an element of competition to Tottenham’s goalkeeping department, pushing Lloris to maintain his high standards and providing a capable deputy when needed.
