Essex rock band 'We Are the Ocean' would love to have a chat with Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

WATO guitarist Jack Spence told talkSPORT that he and his bandmates want to take the Frenchman on tour this summer so they can persuade him to remain at White Hart Lane amid interest from Manchester United.

When asked which footballer he would want as a roadie for the band, Spence said: "Hugo Lloris, so I can spend the tour convincing him to stay at Spurs."

The question of the 'most rock 'n' roll' player in world football was also raised to which Spence replied: "On the pitch, Andrea Pirlo. Off the pitch, Petr Cech is pretty handy with a pair of drumsticks."

Spence also suggested that his dream rock 'n' roll five-a-side team would have a very German flavour.

"Four members of Rammstein and Dave Grohl (of the Foo Fighters)," he said.

"Dave for his sheer tenacity – he'll break his leg and carry on playing – and Rammstein because they're German, they're probably pretty good at football."

We Are the Ocean recently released their fourth studio album, 'Ark', released through Hassle records.
