Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris: I never asked myself if I should leave

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris insists he never considered leaving over the summer.

Lloris has often found himself linked with a departure from White Hart Lane, with speculation surrounding Lloris' future growing particularly intense last summer when Manchester United considered him as a potential replacement for David de Gea.

Asked whether his phone had been buzzing with transfer offers during the summer Lloris told L'Equipe: “I turned it off. There have been rumours of my departure for many summers.

“From the moment we reached our goal, in spring, my mind was made up. I've never asked myself the question. I knew I would stay.

“I am in a project which started really with Pochettino. The first two seasons, yes, it didn't happen as I wished collectively, but the challenges have helped me make my way. They saw that they could count on me."
