Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris admits they need everyone pulling in the right direction.

Lloris is candid about the impasse between Harry Kane and club at present.

He said, "At every club there are players who leave, players who come and the most important thing is to keep the right energy inside the changing room, to welcome in the best way the new signings and make sure they feel well.

"And then try to lead the team in the right direction, try to make sure everyone is going in the same direction as a team and, for sure, things will be easier when the transfer market will be closed.

"Harry is a professional and he is here with a smile, he's here with his team-mates.

"There is a situation in the air, we cannot hide that, but it belongs to him and the club. If the manager needs him, he will be professional.

"Everywhere is the same. It can happen anywhere, at any club. The most important thing is to feel that the player is professional and is respectful to his team-mates and that is completely the case, there is no doubt about that. From my experience there were some different cases that were more complicated but, as I say, it belongs to the club and the player and as long as it doesn't affect the team it's not a problem."
