Hugo Lloris may never play for Tottenham Hotspur again. This comes as the club do not plan to include Lloris in their PL squad this season.
That’s according to The Athletic. They confirm there’s no realistic prospect of football for Lloris in the next few months for Tottenham.
Postecoglou said that he has no interest in having three first-team goalkeepers on his list. Even if he’s been very complimentary of Lloris. It’s very clear that this situation was never envisioned by either party at the club.
Tottenham agreed that Lloris could leave the club. But a suitable move was not found by the 36-year-old.
Lloris had plenty of options but either had concerns over game time or didn’t align himself with the project presented to him by the club.
Hugo Lloris leaving is best for both Tottenham and him
According to reports, there was huge surprise at Tottenham. This is when Lloris turned down a move to his boyhood club Nice.
However, having not found the right project, Lloris is reportedly happy to stay at Spurs. This is to assess his options in January.
It’s clear that the situation is all very amicable. Hugo Lloris will continue to train with the side and his teammates. This is until January when things will be assessed again.
But it’s certainly not ideal from a Spurs point of view to have a £100k-a-week player outside of their squad. Even if he is a good character to have around the club. It’s an unfortunate situation. And one that did seem that it could be avoided.
