Robin Risser has been excellent in Ligue 1, and he has kept the most clean sheets with 10 this season. He has been one of the main reasons why Lens is pushing PSG for the league title.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle United are currently leading the race for his signature. Both Newcastle and Tottenham wanted to bring in a quality goalkeeper, and the 21-year-old has been identified as a target. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he could develop into a quality Premier League goalkeeper with the right guidance.
Risser could be the ideal replacement for Nick Pope at Newcastle. Pope is in the twilight stages of his career, and Newcastle need to bring in a long-term replacement. The 21-year-old goalkeeper could prove to me and upgrade. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be tempting for the young goalkeeper, and it remains to be seen whether Newcastle can secure an agreement with Lens.
On the other hand, Tottenham are in desperate need of a reliable goalkeeper. Guglielmo Vicario has had his fair share of criticism for his inconsistent performances. His inability to deal with aerial balls is a major weakness, and Tottenham need to address it. Antonin Kinsky made his debut in the UEFA Champions League earlier this season against Atletico Madrid, and he put on a horror show.
Risser could prove to be an excellent acquisition for the North London club. Despite their struggles this season, they have an ambitious project and a quality team. The 21-year-old goalkeeper could be attracted to the idea of joining them.
Newcastle United and Tottenham have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line. The report does mention how much the 21-year-old could cost in the summer, with the two clubs having to fork out £34.5 million. He has been the standout goalkeeper in Ligue 1 this season, and Lens will not want to lose him cheaply.
