Hugo Lloris tells Spurs fans exactly what they want to hear over his future

Hugo Lloris has given a great response to a question over his future, which should go down well with Tottenham fans.

The Frenchman has been a key player for Spurs in recent seasons and was again as Mauricio Pochettino's side reached the Champions League final last season.

But there has been speculation over his long-term future in north London, with the 32-year-old having previously been linked with a return to France.

Indeed, Lloris recently admitted that Pochettino stopped him from leaving the club in 2014, soon after the Argentine arrived at Spurs from Southampton.

But while there has been some talk over his future again this summer, the goalkeeper has delivered an emphatic response when asked whether he could be interested in a return to Nice, where he started his career.

"To live? Definitely!," he said in an interview with French publication Nice-Matin.

"A return to the club - it's hard to promise things. I'm still a fan, but I've career plans & I'm under contract at Spurs, where I hope we'll be successful. Maybe the question will come later, but not today."

Lloris was born in Nice and spent his youth career there, before progressing through the ranks to feature 77 times for the first team, before moving to Lyon in 2008.

He then spent four years with Lyon, before moving to Spurs in 2012.
