Overview
- Multiple reports say Newcastle are ahead of Tottenham in the race to sign 21-year-old Robin Risser this summer, with Football Insider and Pete O’Rourke pointing to the Magpies’ lead.
- Football Insider reports Lens want about £34.5 million for the France U21 goalkeeper and feel little pressure to sell while they push near the top of Ligue 1.
- Risser is viewed as one of Ligue 1’s standout young keepers this season, posting a high clean‑sheet total and strong shot-stopping numbers for Lens.
- Pete O’Rourke notes the keeper’s contract runs to 2030, which strengthens Lens’ position and makes a discount deal unlikely.
- Outlets say European qualification could be decisive in any talks, while Yahoo flags questions about how quickly Risser would adjust to Premier League play.
