Lloris pledges commitment to Spurs - even if top four missed

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris insists finishing in the top four won't affect his commitment.

Lloris claims that his main priority is Barclays Premier League football.

"When I joined Spurs it was because it is a very important club in England that has the ambition of playing Champions League football every year," he said. "Of course, the Premier League is the best league in the world where every week you play against very good teams.

"I think it is the most competitive league where five, six, seven or more teams can have the aim of finishing in the top four. I know there is a lot of speculation, but I just want to be focused about my job and my work. I just want to try and help the team get the best results and hopefully get a place in the next Champions League.

"You have to fight for that, especially in the Premier League, where it's very hard to finish in the top four because there are a lot of big clubs with big ambitions."
