Today’s fluff is only lonely when your homey ain’t got a ride or no loot
Tottenham have drawn up a shortlist of potential new goalkeepers, should Hugo Lloris turn down their contract offer and swan off elsewhere, with Manchester City outcast Joe Hart and Sunderland’s shot-stopping supremo Jordan Pickford both upon it. They are also linked this morning with Borussia Dortmund’s Christian Pulisic, as for that matter are Liverpool (again) and Arsenal, though the Gunners may be short of cash if a rumoured £20m move for Milan’s 30-year-old Colombian goal-grabber Carlos Bacca comes to fruition, with the clubs apparently already discussing terms.
Long-term Arsenal target Julian Draxler appears certain to leave Wolfsburg in January, if anyone’s after a talented German 23-year-old forward. In the summer he wanted to go but the club and its fans wanted him to stay. Now, he still wants to go, the fans also want him to go, and the club has come to terms with him leaving as well, so we’re all set. “I said in the summer the way I feel and I stand by that,” the player said after being booed by his own fans during a 3-2 defeat to Hertha Berlin. “It makes it hard for you to perform on the field,” he said of his reception. “I can understand the fans, though. They have every right to do that.”
