#PLStories- Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi happy with competition between his goalkeepers #BHAFC

Tottenham appear to be on the hunt for a goalkeeper they believe has the potential to be an adequate long-term successor to Hugo Lloris. For many years, Daniel Levy and the Spurs board have not had to worry about an upgrade in the goalkeeping department, with the French World Cup-winning shot-stopper having been the club’s firm No. 1 since arriving from Lyon in 2012.

Roberto De Zerbi said: “I am sad for Robert because with him I have one of the best relationships. I spoke with him yesterday but I think my job is to be a coach. You have to be honest and clear and Jason now is playing better than Robert. Robert is playing well but Jason was fantastic in the build-up, for example, in my style. Maybe he is closer than Robert to my style. But I think Robert can work to arrive at the same level. Okay, there are different characteristics, I understand, but Robert is a good guy and I think he will want to improve in this aspect.”

Despite De Zerbi’s reservations, Spurs have reportedly identified Sanchez as one of the options to perfectly fit the bill for Antonio Conte’s plan, including his ability to make good decisions under pressure, as reported by the Daily Mail.
