Tottenham readying move for Man Utd keeper Henderson

Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson as a summer transfer target for Tottenham.

It is believed he is viewed as a long-term replacement for club captain Hugo Lloris.

The French stopper is approaching the end of his career at 36 years old, so Henderson being 11 years younger would future-proof the position.

Lloris retired from international football following France's run to the World Cup final in Qatar.

The United goalkeeper is currently out on loan at Nottingham Forest.

He has impressed at the City Ground and had become a vital member of the Forest's progress before he picked up a muscular injury.

Henderson's performances caught the eye of Spurs, who are now interested in a summer swoop, says football.london.

The 26-year-old would also count as a 'Homegrown' player for the club.

Although, he may not arrive at the North London club immediately as first choice, he would offer more quality as backup than Spurs stoppers Fraser Forster and Alfie Whiteman.
