Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope is a top target for Tottenham in the summer transfer window, but reports say Spurs will have to sell before they buy.
The north London club have taken a big financial hit from the coronavirus pandemic and announced losses of £63.9 million in November.
According to the Mail Online, Spurs’ priority in the transfer market is to strengthen the defence, but there is likely to be a squad clear-out first.
A new goalkeeper, right-back and centre-back are on Jose Mourinho’s wish list and at least six players could be sold to allow the new signings to be made.
Pope is the first-choice option to replace Lloris if he departs, but the England international’s £30 million price tag could force Spurs to look at Wolfsburg’s Koen Casteels instead.
The Wales star is taking around £250,000 per week off the Spurs wage bill, while Vinicius’ £36 million buy-out clause is considered too steep.
