Lucas Chevalier has emerged as a transfer target for both Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa ahead of the summer window.
The 24-year-old French goalkeeper is understood to be seeking a fresh start after struggling to nail down regular first-team football at Paris Saint-Germain.
According to a report via FussballDaten, both Premier League clubs have registered an interest in signing the young stopper.
Chevalier’s situation at PSG has become increasingly difficult, with consistent minutes proving hard to come by at the Parc des Princes this season.
A move to the Premier League represents a compelling opportunity for the goalkeeper to reignite his career and establish himself at the highest level.
Tottenham’s interest is driven in part by growing concerns over current first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who has been linked with a return to Italy.
Vicario has been inconsistent throughout the campaign, with his struggles dealing with aerial balls emerging as a particular source of concern for the north London club.
Chevalier, highly regarded across European football, could offer Tottenham the reliability and commanding presence they appear to be looking for between the sticks.
Aston Villa’s pursuit of the Frenchman is also tied to uncertainty surrounding their own goalkeeping situation heading into the summer.
Emiliano Martinez has been repeatedly linked with a departure from Villa Park, with speculation over his future intensifying after similar rumours circulated last summer.
Villa’s need to find a capable replacement for the Argentina international makes Chevalier an attractive option, given his age, profile, and potential for development.
A significant factor working in Aston Villa’s favour is their ability to offer Champions League football for the upcoming campaign, which could prove persuasive in transfer negotiations.
Both clubs are considered to have the financial resources necessary to meet PSG’s asking price, should the French giants decide to sanction a sale.
Whether either club can reach an agreement with PSG and convince Chevalier that their project is the right fit remains to be seen as the summer window approaches.
