The transfer rumours surrounding Tottenham Hotspur continue to intensify, with the latest speculation pointing towards France.
Premier League giants Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United are all reportedly keen on acquiring the services of French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier.
Currently excelling with LOSC Lille, Chevalier has emerged as a key figure in the team since 2020. The 23-year-old has demonstrated impressive growth, earning a reputation as one of the brightest young goalkeepers in Europe.

With 98 appearances for Lille's first team, Chevalier has kept 38 clean sheets, further solidifying his position as an indispensable asset to the club.
Over the past few months, his performances, particularly in the UEFA Champions League, have caught the attention of major clubs across Europe.
Despite having a contract with Lille until the summer of 2027, Chevalier’s displays have not gone unnoticed, and Premier League clubs are reportedly preparing to make offers in the near future, according to TBR.
Although Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, has been performing well, the club is still exploring options to strengthen their goalkeeping department.
For Tottenham, where established goalkeepers such as Guglielmo Vicario already occupy the starting role, the potential signing of Chevalier could provide the opportunity for healthy competition, enabling him to further develop his skills under the pressure of Premier League football.
Despite being content with their current first-choice goalkeepers, Vicario at Tottenham and Onana at Manchester United, the two clubs are reportedly monitoring Chevalier’s situation, keeping an eye on any potential opportunity to acquire the French goalkeeper should it arise in the future.

Lucas Chevalier is quickly becoming one of Europe’s most promising young goalkeepers, and it seems increasingly likely that his future lies away from Lille in the coming years.

Amid the growing interest from several top clubs, French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier has hinted at the possibility of leaving Lille in the near future.
