Pushed out this summer, Hugo Lloris finally stayed at Tottenham. A decision that does not pass with its leaders…
After eleven years at Tottenham, Hugo Lloris was asked to find a new base at the start of the summer. The London leaders were even ready to release the tricolor doorman from his last year of contract to facilitate his departure. Yes, but now, the former Lyonnais did not move, despite requests from Lazio Rome and AS Roma, but also from Saudi Arabia.
According to information from the very serious British media The Guardian, Hugo Lloris’s decision to ultimately stay in North London was not appreciated by its leaders. Therefore, the latter would consider putting their ex-captain in the closet until January and the opening of the winter transfer window.
Spurs’ drastic move
If the Niçois should always be able to train with the group of Ange Postecoglou, he should not reappear in the Spurs jersey in competition. As a reminder, last July the 2018 world champion confided that he wanted “ transfer somewhere else so he can play and start the next phase of his career. »
At the beginning of the summer, Tottenham thus recruited Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli to compensate for the announced departure of Hugo Lloris. The Italian goalkeeper is the number one in the London cage this season, while England veteran Fraser Forster acts as a back-up.
