Why Lucas Chevalier is the wrong move for Tottenham | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur are closely monitoring Lucas Cheavlier’s situation, according to Media Foot.

Spurs are reportedly prepared to offer between €30-40 million to sign the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper.

Tottenham desperately need a new number one with Guglielmo Vicario and Antonin Kinsky failing to cover themselves in glory this season.

Vicario’s shaky performances led Spurs interim boss Igor Tudor to turn to Kinsky.

Unfortunately, Kinsky had a shocker against Atletico Madrid, prompting the Croatian tactician to recall Vicario immediately.

Signing a new goalkeeper should be at the top of the transfer priority list at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.

However, going for Chevalier would be a massive transfer blunder. The Frenchman is an unimposing figure between the sticks.

The 24-year-old is shaky on corners, set-pieces and aerial challenges.

Tottenham have witnessed first-hand how shaky he is in goal. He was atrocious in the UEFA Super Cup and even worse in the Champions League group-stage match.

His handling has been weak, which is why he finds himself down the pecking order at PSG despite joining this summer for big money.

Chevalier has lost confidence and should be nowhere near Tottenham if the club wants a reliable presence.

Spurs need a tested and trusted goalkeeper such as Sunderland’s Robin Roefs. The Dutchman has been one of the best shot-stoppers in the Premier League this season.

Roefs joined the Black Cats for around £10 million last summer, and he has proven to be worth every penny, keeping eight clean sheets in 28 league appearances.

Tottenham can snap him up for around the same figure as the one circulating for Chevalier. He represents a wiser use of funds for Tottenham than any move for the Frenchman.
