Mourinho To Replace Hugo Lloris With Burnley Keeper

Chelsea and Tottenham will rival each other to sign Nick Pope, according to reports.

The Burnley keeper, 27, has attracted admirers across the Premier League and the London rivals and said to be in from him as they look to replace Kepa and Hugo Lloris respectively.

After some shaky performances from Lloris, Jose Mourinho is ready to look to Turf Moor to replace the World Cup winner, according to football.london.

The 33-year-old has kept just two clean sheets in 18 appearances this season.

And after Paulo Gazzaniga failed to set the world alight, Spurs fans are beginning to feel it is time for a change between the sticks.  

Also, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has grown increasingly frustrated with Spanish stopper Kepa, 25, and will reportedly encourage the Blues' hierarchy to land the England ace in his place.

Before coronavirus put a temporary stop on Premier League action, the Chelsea boss had banished Kepa to the bench and promoted veteran keeper Willy Caballero to the starting XI instead.
