Huge claims in France say Hugo Lloris will join Man Utd this summer, with Tottenham already closing on a €30m replacement, Arsenal want a Real Betis star, while Tuesday’s Euro Paper Talk discusses the chances of Jurgen Klopp replacing Andrea Pirlo at Juventus.

HUGO LLORIS TIPPED TO JOIN MANCHESTER UNITED

Manchester United are reportedly edging closer to the shock signing of Hugo Lloris this summer, claim reports in France.

The Tottenham captain has just 15 months left to run on his deal in north London and is yet to reach agreement on a renewal. At 34, the World Cup winner is seeking ‘one more challenge’. As such, L’Equipe claims he’s wanted by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as a successor to David De Gea.

The paper claims De Gea will be allowed to leave this summer, with PSG the most likely destination. Meanwhile, Solskjaer plans to sign Lloris for a moderate fee to become their new No 1. While Dean Henderson has done well, Solskjaer is looking towards Lloris given his likely exit at Spurs.

While Lloris’ exit will come as a blow for Spurs, L’Equipe says it is something they have been planning for. They suggest Jose Mourinho and Co have long know it was an option and have been scouting potential replacements.

Take a look back at some of the best Premier League saves from last season, including incredible stops from Bernd Leno, David De Gea and Hugo Lloris.

As such, they will replace the long-serving keeper with Lille’s Mike Maignan. He is Lloris’ deputy in the France squad and is valued at €30m. He’s no stranger to interest from Premier League sides either. Indeed, United themselves have in the past been linked.

As per L’Equipe, though, Maignan will move to Spurs this summer and become their new No 1. The paper claims ‘the game of musical chairs could therefore be orchestrated smoothly’.
