Tottenham Hotspur have been advised to consider an immediate move for Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher to solve their current goalkeeping woes.
With Guglielmo Vicario sidelined since November with ankle surgery, Spurs have relied on veteran Fraser Forster, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
The North London club recently made their first signing of 2025, bringing in 21-year-old Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague. And he made an impressive debut in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final against Liverpool, producing a stunning performance in a 1-0 win for Spurs.
Tottenham wanted to sign the Liverpool goalkeeper Kevin Kelleher
Despite signing Kinsky, Tottenham insider and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham has urged Tottenham to act quickly and sign Kelleher this month instead of waiting until the summer.
Wenham stressed the urgency of securing a proven goalkeeper like Kelleher this month rather than waiting until the summer:
Speaking with Tottenham newsWenham said:
“If there was a plan to get a real alternative to Vicari during the summer, then those plans should be presented.
“The club now has the money to do it. So I don’t see why not. Those in control need to understand the importance of the situation we are in and spend some money.
“For example, it seems that Kelleher could be available this summer, Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to arrive at the club and Alisson is likely to stay. So go and sign it now, pay the money.”
Kelleher has built a reputation for his composure under pressure and reliability in goal. Since joining Liverpool’s academy in 2015, the Ireland international has produced outstanding performances despite serving as Alisson Becker’s replacement.
He played a key role in Liverpool’s 2022 EFL Cup triumph, famously scoring the winning penalty in stoppage time against Chelsea, becoming a fan favorite at Anfield.
This season, Kelleher stepped up once again during Allison Becker’s absence and performed admirably, making several brilliant saves, including a penalty from Mbappe during Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Madrid.
Sam Kelleher was delighted to leave Liverpool in search of regular first-team football. In fact, Nottingham Forest tried to sign him in the summer, but the Reds rejected the offer.
And while he remains keen to leave, convincing Kelleher to join Spurs could prove challenging. Given Vicari’s presence, the Irishman may not join Spurs unless he is promised a start ahead of the Italian.
