Tottenham are reportedly interested in making a surprise move for Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy as the north London club look for a replacement for Hugo Lloris.
Lloris, who has spent 11 seasons at the club, is rumoured to be heading for the exit door after his struggling form and expiring contract.
That will make finding a new No 1 a priority in the summer and The Sun claim they have their eyes on a stopper that plies his trade nearby.
Chelsea are gearing up for a summer clearout as they seek to balance the books after reporting a huge loss of £121.3million for the year ending June 2022.
Mail Sport has previously reported that Mendy is high on the list of players they are looking to move on with the keeper having fallen behind Kepa Arrizabalaga in the pecking order.
Mendy's current deal expires in 2025 and talks over a new one failed earlier this year.
Spurs are said to have been monitoring the situation and could now swoop in to bring the Senegalese across London.
With the £500m transfer spree during Todd Boehly's first year in charge of the club due to be accounted for in next year's financial results, as many as 10 members of the current squad could be sold at the club looks to balance the books.
Mendy was a key figure from the Champions League triumph under Thomas Tuchel but has suffered from injuries and now finds himself out in the cold.
The Tottenham striker is revealed as having a personal fortune of £50million, according to the 2023 Sunday Times Rich List, which is out this weekend and includes him as one of the 35 richest people under 35 in Britain.
That is up £8million from last year, with his previous listing in 2021 showing him to be worth around £33million, proving he is as savvy with his savings as he is with his shots at goal.
His focus remains on helping Spurs secure European football for next season and although they cannot now qualify for the Champions League, their hopes of making it into the Europa League or Europa Conference League in 2023/24 remain alive, albeit with them potentially needing Brighton and Aston Villa to drop points in the final games of the campaign if they are to do so.
Spurs take on Brentford at home on Saturday lunchtime before they close their season with a trip to Elland Road to face relegation-threatened Leeds United on May 28.
