Tottenham remain in talks to swap £12.5m benchwarmer for £20m West Ham player

A second source has now confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are indeed holding discussions over signing a 25-year-old in an unusual kind of loan deal.

Tottenham Hotspur still have several important areas of the squad to address over the next week and a half, but it appears that they have now decided to explore changing their backup goalkeeper.

On Thursday, a West Ham insider revealed that Tottenham and the Hammers are holding talks over a loan swap deal, which would see two fringe players move in the opposite direction.
