Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Karl Darlow from Leeds United at the end of the season.
The 35-year-old goalkeeper has been a key player for Leeds in recent months, starting 17 times in the Premier League. Darlow was given the opportunity to impress in the first team after Lucas Perry’s inconsistent performances. The experienced goalkeeper has worked extremely well for them and is due to be out of contract in the summer.
According to the Telegraph, Tottenham want to sign him on a free transfer. He could be a useful player for the north London club, but they also need to bring in a starting-level goalkeeper. Guglielmo Vicario has been linked with a move from Tottenham and they need to properly replace him. The Italian has been inconsistent since joining the club and the club needs an upgrade.
Although the 35-year-old Leeds United goalkeeper has performed well in recent months, he is in the twilight years of his career and Tottenham cannot trust him as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. They need younger replacements with more potential.
They have been linked with players such as James Trafford and Bert Verbruggen in recent months. It remains to be seen who they will end up signing. Meanwhile, the Leeds United goalkeeper is likely to be attracted to the idea of joining the London club. It would be a step up in his career.
He will be a free agent in the summer and Leeds United will be unable to stop him from leaving. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will be able to finalize a deal for the player in the coming weeks.
