Tottenham could make a stunning move to sign Liverpool’s recently-axed goalkeeper Caiomhin Kelleher.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who remains well-connected to the club, the 26-year-old “would be an option” for Spurs.

Spurs are without regular first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario due to him breaking his ankle, with Fraser Forster having filled in ever since which could lead to them making a move for Kelleher.

Tottenham fans were left fuming at Forster after his performance against Man United in the EFL Cup, leading to calls for him to retire.

The Ireland international has been axed out of the first team since Alisson returned from injury, despite his impressive performances this season.

Kelleher is stuck being second choice under Arne Slot and Football Insider revealed the goalkeeper does want to quit Anfield in a bid to get more regular playing time.

“There’s nobody out there at the moment, which is why I disagree, I don’t think there’s a huge rush,” Robinson told Football Insider.

“Fraser Forster’s done okay, he’s a good goalkeeper.

“You look at him, you look at the experience that he’s got, I don’t think for what you’re going to get on loan or as an emergency signing now for what you’re going to buy now, you need to buy better than what you’ve got.

“I’m not so sure you do when you look at the options out there, January is always typically, it’s a difficult month to do business.

“They’re linked with John Victor, aren’t they?

“Remember where he plays his football now, he’s on loan at Botafogo, he’s on loan at Valladolid last year, I think.

“He’s got a little bit of experience but you’re paying five or six million for a goalkeeper that’s untried and untested at that level.

“[They’re] linked with Anthony Patterson at Sunderland, 24 years old.

“He’s a good goalkeeper, not so sure he goes in ahead of Fraser Forster, not sure you trust the goalkeeper that you bring in at that age.

“Don’t bring somebody in who’s not better than what you’ve already got, [I] just don’t think there’s anybody out there in January that would fit the bill.

“Kelleher’s time at Liverpool with Marmadashvili coming in, that would be a brilliant option if we were talking in the summer.”
