Tottenham boss Conte cannot guarantee Lloris contract offer

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte cannot guarantee Hugo Lloris will be offered a new contract.

The World Cup winner is approaching a decade at Spurs after he first moved to the north London outfit from Lyon in 2012 but only has six months left on his current deal.

Lloris will celebrate his 35th birthday on Boxing Day and is expected to line up in goal against Crystal Palace after being one of the team's most consistent performers this season.

Asked if he was concerned about his goalkeeper's contract situation, Conte said: "Hugo is our captain, he is a player that played for Tottenham for many years and we are all happy to have him in our team, in the squad and in the dressing room.

"For sure he is a point of reference for the other players and Hugo knows very well what I think about him and what the club thinks about him. Now we'll see but I think Hugo won't be ever a problem for Tottenham."
