Tottenham are interested in signing Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, according to reports.
North Londoners are looking for a move to a new No.1 with Hugo Lloris without a contract at the end of the season.
And Pickford tops Antonio Conte’s list to replace the French, claim the Telegraph.

The report adds that Conte’s preference would be to sign a youth goalkeeper who could become the club’s number one, or compete with Lloris if he signs a contract extension.
Pickford joined Everton from Sunderland in 2017 for a fee of around £ 25 million and has been Gareth Southgate’s first choice for England since the 2018 World Cup.
His form for the Three Lions has always been more consistent than for his club; however, he has improved his game for the Toffees over the past year.
The 27-year-old has internationalized 42 times for England and kept five clean sheets at Euro 2020 when Southgate reached the final of the competition.

tracks brought in Atalanta forward Pierluigi Gollini on a one-season loan with a call option last summer, to give Lloris competition.
However, the Italian will only be seen in the Carabao Cup and Europa Conference League this season.
He is likely to remain second choice at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with players like Pickford linked with a move to North London.
Elsewhere, Fabrizio Romano says that Antonio Conte believes that Dele Alli is “a player of the best clubs” and it will give the midfielder a “great opportunity” to revive his career.
Alli’s career has stalled in recent seasons at Spurs, and he was linked to a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain last season.
But Romano says Conte is ready to give the midfielder a chance to “show his skills” by changing his attitude.
“Conte wants to give Alli a great opportunity,” Romano said on Rio Ferdinand’s YouTube channel.
«Antonio Conte is convinced that Dele Alli is a player for the best clubs. Now he wants Dele Alli to show his skills with a very different attitude and atmosphere at the club.
