Tottenham want Kelleher deal after Liverpool reach £20m+ transfer agreement
Tottenham are already looking to rebuild this summer, in preparation for their Premier League and Champions League campaigns.
The North London side were victorious in the Europa League final with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United, which earned qualification for the Champions League next season.
Ange Postecoglou achieved his goal of delivering a trophy in his second year in charge.
However, while their trophy drought came to an end, their performance in the Premier League is best to be forgotten, after finishing 17th following a 4-1 defeat to Brighton.
A major blow came when goalkeeper Gugielmo Vicario missed 12 matches after undergoing multiple ankle surgeries.
Injury problems accumulated throughout the season, with Tottenham now looking to move past these performances and expand their squad ready for next season.
Tottenham interested in Liverpool star Kelleher
According to The Times (28 May), Tottenham are one of the Premier League sides monitoring Liverpool back-up keeper Caoimhin Kelleher, after expressing an interest earlier this year.
Liverpool are set to seek an excess of £20million for the Irish international, who has one year left on his contract.
Kelleher is currently the number two at Liverpool, behind long-established favourite Alison Becker.
The 26-year-old has spoken previously about wanting to play regular football, but his position is set to be challenged with Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili joining Liverpool this summer.
An agreement is already in place for Mamardashvili to join the Reds for £29million.
A move to another Premier League side is looking likely with Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford and West Ham United, having expressed an interest.
Kelleher would be a good fit for Tottenham
While Vicario is still the number one for Tottenham, Antonin Kinsky has consolidated himself as number two, after joining in January.
Kinsky has had mixed reviews in his Premier League debut season, with the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in the EFL Cup, which disappointed fans.
Kelleher would be a great addition to Postecoglou’s side for the new season, as they look to rotate the squad throughout the four competitions.

Alternatively, Tottenham could choose to include youth keeper Josh Keeley, in next season’s squad, who had a successful loan spell at Leyton Orient this season.
However, Keeley will likely be loaned out to another EFL side before leaping into the Premier League.
The future does look bright for the North London side, with Under-18’s goalkeeper Sam Archer signing a professional contract earlier this year.
Nevertheless, Tottenham need experienced players for the upcoming season, which could see them pursue Kelleher properly.
