The Spurs captain is currently 33, and while he isn’t expected to leave the summer, the club appear to be preparing for the future and they see Maignan as a long-term replacement.

The 24-year-old and Tottenham goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos worked together at the Ligue 1 club prior to his departure in November.

The Spurs coach linked up with boss Jose Mourinho four months ago, and Maignan sent out this emotional tweet about him.
