#2 Alban Lafont
The Fiorentina and France under 21 international goalkeeper is regarded as one of the top prospects in Europe. The 20-year old has played regularly since he was 17 while at Toulouse and made his debut at the age of 16.
For Lafont, the next stage would have to be breaking into the full France squad and to put himself into a position where he could win trophies, and a move to North London with Tottenham would be the perfect fit.
Fiorentina signed the young goalkeeper for what has to be considered a real bargain in today's market: €7 million, so the fee to prize the Frenchman away from Florence might not be as commanding as some of the fees paid by Chelsea and Liverpool respectively last summer. A healthy profit should bring Lafont in and the club would get years out of him.
Lafont should be high on the list of replacements for Lloris, he possesses such talent, he can play out from the back, he is commanding in his box for such a tender age and ultimately his shot stopping is top quality. His decision making at times has come under question, but we have to remember this is a young goalkeeper playing his first season in a new country, therefore mistakes would be inevitable.
He is regarded as the future of France in regards to following Lloris as the number one goalkeeper for his country and Pochettino should regard him as the future of Tottenham again to replace Lloris.
His reputation is continually growing so a big move is inevitable for this young talented goalkeeper. Spurs could make a real statement by getting this deal and provide the club with longevity and a solid basis for years to come.
