Tottenham are thought to be on the lookout for a goalkeeper, and according to Fichajes, one player who has caught their eye is Gunners shot-stopper Karl Hein, who is impressing on loan at Real Valladolid this season.

In fact, the report describes Spurs’ interest in the 22-year-old shot-stopper as an ‘obsession’.

Hein is said to fit the profile of goalkeeper that Ange Postecoglou’s men are after as they look to sign a successor to Fraser Forster, whose contract with the club runs out next summer.
