Real Madrid Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Hugo Lloris and Dele Alli

Real Madrid have reportedly added Tottenham Hotspur stopper Hugo Lloris to their long list of goalkeeper transfer targets.

According to reports in Lloris' native France from L'Equipe, the Spurs man is now wanted as Real’s new No. 1—although he’s not their first choice for the job.

As revealed by Andrew Richardson of The Sun, Madrid are also chasing Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois, Manchester United’s David de Gea and young AC Milan keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Lloris has been something of a revelation since joining Tottenham and has quickly become one of the best goalkeepers in the world. In a debate of who is the very best, he’s always very much part of the conversation.

He’s single-handedly won games for Spurs over the past few seasons, with the White Hart Lane outfit arguably a little lost without him between the posts.

Having recently turned 30, the club’s official Twitter feed shared some of his best moments with the club:

Real Madrid could certainly benefit from the services of Lloris, who would be an ideal replacement for the shaky Keylor Navas.

Real need a goalkeeper who is as good with his feet as his hands, and many would suggest that Lloris’ distribution isn’t quite good enough to play the "sweeper keeper" role.

However, the stats say otherwise, as WhoScored.com’s Ben McAleer revealed that his distribution is up there with the best in the Premier League.

Lloris recently signed a new deal to keep him at White Hart Lane until 2022, which means he’ll likely cost Real a pretty penny should they choose to bid for his services.

Elsewhere, Madrid are set to face stiff competition in their pursuit of another Tottenham star: Dele Alli.

The Englishman has emerged as one of the hottest young talents in the world game, and Dave Fraser of The Sun reports that Bayern Munich have joined the race for his signature.

Alli is also reportedly wanted by Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, despite being under contract in north London until 2022.

Real Madrid are enjoying a stellar campaign domestically and in Europe in the 2016-2017 season, but they need to bring in some talent to keep them at the top.

Landing players of Lloris and Alli’s calibre will only help their bid for world football domination.
