Tottenham are reportedly interested in Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.
The Dutch international is one of the of the highest-rated young keepers in the world, recording his third clean sheet of the season last weekend and securing a 2-1 victory for Brighton over Brentford two weeks ago with a last-minute penalty save against Bees striker Igor Thiago.
According to TEAMtalk, Spurs are working hard to identify goalkeeper targets heading into 2026 and they are huge admirers of Verbruggen’s talents. The North London club plan to upgrade from their current No. 1 Guglielmo Vicario.
The Italian has come under fire for a number of mistakes this season, such as leaving his penalty area and allowing Fulham’s Harry Wilson to score an uncontested goal last month. Vicario has also been linked with moves back to Serie A, as both Inter and AC Milan may need new goalkeepers next season.
