Spurs line up transfer for Man Utd outcast Dean Henderson with Forest loan star having one big attraction for Conte
TOTTENHAM have reportedly shortlisted Dean Henderson as a summer transfer target.
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 Man 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, according to 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.
The goalkeeper is expected to make a permanent move away from Old Trafford at the end of the season.

Forest are expected to rival Tottenham for his signature, as they will also be in the market for a goalkeeper this summer.
The club did sign Keylor Navas from PSG in January but only on a short-term loan deal.
The Red Devils are also willing to listen to offers for Alex Telles, Anthony Martial and Harry Maguire in a summer clearout, according to MEN.
To replace Martial, Tipsbladet have said that United have been linked with a move for Atalanta’s impressive young striker Rasmus Hojlund.
The Danish striker have been in good form for the Serie A side this season, scoring six goals in 19 league games.
