Report: Arsenal and Tottenham interested in Lovren

Dejan Lovren could swapping life on Merseyside for North London with both Arsenal and Tottenham interested in the veteran defender.

The Mirror (via Sky Sports) reports that both clubs are looking for defensive reinforcements and Lovren is the sort of player who could add valuable leadership.

The Croatian who has made 14 appearances this season has been linked to the Serie A during the last few transfer windows, but Jürgen Klopp was very keen to keep the 30 year old as defensive cover.

 

Lovren still has over a year to run on his current contract, but it is believed much like Adam Lallana he will be on the lookout for a new club this summer in the quest for more playing time.

Lovren is the definition of someone who splits opinion in the fanbase.

Some are very quick to point out his flaws as seen in his most recent outing against Watford where the Reds lost for the first time this season.

While the team as a collective unit had a very rare shocker, it was the performance of the centre back which was forensically examined by all in sundry, with his direct opponent on the evening Troy Deeney even chipping in a few barbs for good measure.

But there are others who see Lovren as the consummate teammate, someone who supports others, does not cause any fuss and is willing to play any kind of role when called upon for the club he truly loves.

If Lovren does sign for either of the North London rivals, he will bring a impressive resume which includes being a starter in a World Cup and Champions League final.

what are they still smoking over at the Emirates ? 

Lovren is a far better defender than Luiz, Sokratis or Mustafi.

That's a hell of a list. 

Hell of a lot of shite.    David Luiz clearly the best of them by a country mile, which takes some doing.

I don’t like Lovren I never have but he’s clearly better than Luiz.  Not hard mind.

 

Arse and the spuds have a lot of junk at the back.  Probably only Alderweield is better than a Lovren and he’s been gash this season so that’s up for debate.

@aRdja When did you turn into such a sly negger? Don’t get me wrong, everyone loves a sly meg every now and then, but it seems like you’re not willing to share your reasons for negging anymore. Just making yourself feel better?

Not exactly ‘sly’ as I negged every single snide comment about Lovren. Don’t take it personally. Never knew you were required/expected to explain a neg.

Then why do you post in the revenge negging thread every single time Grinch negs you?

 

You neg about half of his posts and then cry "revenge neg" when he negs you.

 

Be honest, you're just trolling.

If you post negative shite about our players you get a neg from me. Unfortunately for him, that’s what he does all the time... so naturally he cops a large share of my negs. There’s nothing personal in any of this stuff.

Some players need criticising,especially when they help to ruin a fantastic unbeaten league run. The better we get the more the weaker players become exposed and stick out like a sore thumb,eg Dejan Lovren.

Lol... Lovren was partly at fault for one goal... ONE!!! We lost 3-0... there were a number of players that playing as bad if not worse than Dejan. Even if he had an absolute stinker, he’s been a good servant for us in his time here overall... show some respect.

Enjoy him while you can. London beckons.

As I said, you’re not. If you do it all the time, like you do to me, then I query. You can do what you what you want and I can think what I want about it. Also, nothing sly about wanting Lovren gone. Certainly not as strange as your fanboying.

Good luck to him. I'd be happy for him.to go to either. I don't think he has what it takes to make us regret it but he'd improve arsenal, so happy for him to end up at a decent club. I'm not sure about spurs though.

No,he upsets the whole balance of the defence when he plays. Klopp dropped a clanger by not playing Matip instead.

Real strange behaviour from me indeed having to defend a very good servant to the club from fellow fans...

Surely you can see that’s cowardice.

Oh, that ‘say it’s strange and then say it’s about something else’ thing. Good stuff, but no. Your fanboy love in over years, your Code-level bias, and your refusal to let it drop is what’s weird, not your heroic defence of a very good ‘servant’ who we paid many millions to fuck up multiple times a game.

Since you seem to need an explanation, here’s one: I am negging you for this snide comment.
