Ex Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes that Caoimhin Kelleher has been the best goalie in the league this season so far.
However, despite the Irishman’s consistent performances for Liverpool, the former England international does not see a future for him at Spurs.
Speaking to Tottenham News, Robinson doesn’t see a world where the London club spend a huge chunk of their transfer money on a new number one.

“[Tottenham] won’t spend that money because Kelleher wants to go somewhere and be No.1. [Guglielmo] Vicario is the No.1 at Spurs so they won’t see the need to spend money.
“Liverpool have made forward plans for the future with Marmadashvili coming in, which is a clever signing, so Kelleher won’t want to go somewhere and fight for his place.
“He’s proven his ability to be first-choice this year and he’s a top-quality goalkeeper. I don’t see the club investing the money needed to buy him and I don’t think it’s an option for Kelleher. It’s a bit of a non-starter, in all honesty.”
In another interview with Football Insider, Robinson was full of praise for the Cork native, and even claimed that his recent performances mean that he is the most in-form keeper in the league right now.
“I was asked to rank the top three goalkeepers in the Premier League this season, and Kelleher was my number one.
“Next year, I think he wants to be a No.1. With the opportunities he’s had and the age he’s at, he doesn’t want to compete with Mamardashvili or be on the bench.
“It’s his time to go to another club and go and be the number one goalkeeper. So, Liverpool fans, enjoy him while you’ve got him because I think he will be moving on come the end of this season.”
Although Tottenham might be a non-starter, there is a lot of speculation that Kelleher could make the move to another London club.
Chelsea have surprised everyone this season by emerging as title contenders but there are still a lot of question marks around their goalkeeping options, so it wouldn’t be a big surprise if they made a move for the Ireland international.
