Spurs battling to secure Hugo Lloris to new deal

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is still discussing new terms.

Jan Vertonghen became the latest player to agree a long-term deal last week, and Spurs want Lloris to follow suit, says the Sunday Mirror.

Talks on a new contract started in the summer, before Lloris went to the European Championship where he captained France to the final, where they lost to Portugal.

The player is fiercely ambitious to win trophies and was hugely disappointed at Spurs' failure to reach the knock-out stages of this season's Champions League.

The club's lack of silverware may emerge as a problem in future talks, given how badly Spurs faded in the Premier League last season to blow their chances of winning the title.
