Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris is coy over his club's interest in France teammate Thomas Lemar.

The AS Monaco winger is being linked with Spurs.

Lloris grinned when asked if he had spoken to Lemar about Spurs, saying: "You are right to ask the question, but I cannot reply."

And the France captain is enthralled by the potential of his young compatriots.

"The Premier League is very exciting," Lloris said. "All the Premier League clubs have the capacity and the ability to bring the best players in the world.

"In France we used to have a lot of talented players, and it's true that the new generation are fantastic, but we need to give them time to get the right maturity.

"But as they showed (on Tuesday), they are ready to compete at the best level. Let's see what will happen in the Premier League."
