Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas is targeting Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. The Daily Mail says the future of Brad Friedel is under real threat with the new Spurs manager ready to approve a swoop for France goalkeeper Lloris.

The 25-year-old - who captained France at Euro 2012 - has been a long-term target for Tottenham and been regularly scouted by the North London club.

Everything is in place for Spurs to launch a move for Lloris - who is valued at £16million by the French club and Villas-Boas is said to be keen.
