In my opinion, maybe I receive a good surprise, but for me it's even more difficult when the time goes and you arrive without a contract, because I know that the club has been pushing.

I've told you a lot of times during the season, for me Lloyd is one of our best players, but right now it becomes more and more difficult because the end arrives and I suppose it's more difficult.

But there are chances. Until he is out of contract, there are chances."

On the defender's plans, Iraola added: I haven't asked him personally, what he's going to do next season, if he is going to re-sign.

I haven't asked him. I normally don't with the players.

But I don't think it has affected anything about his performances, his attitude.

I think he has been very, very good for us this season.

The problem with him probably is that he hasn't been healthy this season as much as we would like.

But the games he has played, I think he has been very good."
