After his aborted departure from Tottenham during the summer transfer window, Hugo Lloris will not be shelved at Spurs. He was eventually included in the London club’s squad for the Premier League.
Tottenham had reason to be unhappy. The London leaders and Hugo Lloris agreed to end the adventure last spring (eleven years after his arrival), but the now 36-year-old goalkeeper did not find a way out during the period. transfers. He was announced to PSG, Saudi Arabia or Real Madrid, but finally refused to go to Lazio to take on the role of understudy.
The captain of the 2018 world champion French team will wait until next January to find a new challenge. While a contract termination or being sidelined for 4 months were considered in the north of the English capital, Lloris was finally included on the list of 25 players for the Premier League on Wednesday. A decision by the new coach, Ange Postecoglou.
Lloris should not suddenly compete with Guglielmo Vicario, now number 1 at Tottenham. The Italian goalkeeper, recruited for 20 million euros from Empoli, fully contributed to Spurs’ good start to the season (3 wins and a draw). But the native of Nice could become number 2 at the expense of Fraser Forster. He won’t really get a chance to play until Christmas. Son Heung-Min and his teammates do not play in any European Cup and have already been eliminated in the League Cup.
