Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly targeting Angers SCO goalkeeper Yahia Fofana as a solution to their injury woes in the goalkeeping department. Following Guglielmo Vicario’s unfortunate ankle fracture in Spurs’ dominant 4-0 win over Manchester City, the Italian will be sidelined for months, leaving 36-year-old Fraser Forster as the only experienced option.
While Forster has Postecoglou’s trust, Tottenham are keen to bring in reinforcements during the January transfer window. Yahia Fofana, the 24-year-old Ivorian international, has emerged as a strong candidate. Fofana, who joined Angers from Le Havre in 2022, has shown promise with his commanding presence despite Angers’ struggles in Ligue 1. Spurs are reportedly optimistic about negotiating a deal, with Fofana’s contract entering its final 18 months.
Tottenham aim to use the winter window to secure a reliable backup to Vicario, ensuring long-term squad depth. Fofana’s potential arrival could offer stability during this challenging phase while also serving as a solid second-choice option once Vicario returns.
