Former Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel has backed current Spurs custodian Hugo Lloris to remain at White Hart Lane this summer.

Lloris has been mooted as a potential target for Manchester United if their current No.1 David de Gea departs for Real Madrid.

However, Friedel says he cannot see such a scenario materialising.

"For me personally, I don't foresee that transfer even remotely starting up," Friedel told the Daily Express.

"Hugo is a Tottenham player, he is the Tottenham captain and he will be a Tottenham player and I don't see that changing.

"I don't even think we need to discuss that possibility and I mean that sincerely."
