Tottenham keeper Lloris: Chairman didn't sign me

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris insists he's Andre Villas-Boas' player.

Lloris denied suggestions that he was signed by chairman Daniel Levy rather than Villas-Boas.

"Rumours that I am the choice of the chairman not the coach? I talked with the coach and there is no ambiguity. He told me everyone at Tottenham wanted me to come, and in England the manager has a power on that kind of things," he insisted.

"It is just like when I read I should not have joined Tottenham. That never-ending football-fiction that has set around me is annoying to me. You have to put things into perspective: I just spent four weeks with Spurs and just missed three matches."
