Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. The 24-year-old French international is said to be seeking regular first-team action, making a Premier League switch a potential avenue.
Chevalier has found consistent game time challenging at PSG this season. According to a report from FussballDaten, both Spurs and Villa have registered their interest in securing his signature.
Tottenham might see Chevalier as an upgrade on current keeper Guglielmo Vicario, who has faced criticism for inconsistency and struggles with aerial threats, and has been linked with a return to Italy. The highly-rated Chevalier could be a strong addition if he adapts well to the Premier League and regains his top form.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa could also be in the market for a new shot-stopper, with Emiliano Martinez having been the subject of transfer speculation last summer as well. Chevalier could be a fitting replacement, and Villa's potential to offer Champions League football next season could be a significant draw.
Both Premier League clubs are believed to have the financial resources to pursue the transfer. The key will be whether they can agree on a fee with PSG and convince the French club to let their goalkeeper depart.
