Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering a move for Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

The 21-year-old is currently on loan to Championship side Preston North End, where he has earned praise for the level of his performances this season.

Pickford, who has earned three caps for the England Under-21s, has been linked with a number of Premier League sides, including Manchester United and Aston Villa.

According to The Sun, Spurs are fearful of losing current number one Hugo Lloris at the end of the season and have identified Pickford as a potential back-up signing.

Pickford has played 19 times in all competitions for Preston so far this season.
