3. Goalkeeper

This area will invariably draw some objection, as it is a polarizing topic. Hugo Lloris, who just entered the 100-clean sheet club, is a consummate professional, a leader in every sense of the word. But his role as Spurs No. 1 is on borrowed time.

The enigmatic Frenchman is still one of the world’s best shot stoppers, of that there is no doubt. But his propensity to make inexplicable, inexcusable blunders is an achilles heel the club can no longer ignore if they have any realistic aspirations of winning the Premier League.

Tottenham will never part ways with their club captain if they cannot source a viable elite replacement for the World Cup winner. He is still easily good enough to backstop Spurs in the Premier League. The caveat, though, is that Spurs probably won’t win a title with Lloris as their No.1.
