Lloris: Conte influenced new Spurs contract signing

Hugo Lloris admits extending his deal with Tottenham was influenced by the presence of manager Antonio Conte.

The France and Spurs captain penned terms earlier this year to 2024.

Lloris said: “I extended a month and a half ago, in a certain logic, in continuity. Things were done fairly quickly with the leaders, with a lot of respect and consideration.

"It's been two and a half years that we know ups and downs, irregularity in terms of results. But since the arrival of Conte, we feel a real progression.

"We have the feeling that we are crossing a plateau. I think we will be ready to go for the European places."
