Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is delighted with Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema's France recall.

Lloris hailed Benzema for never giving up on a return to Les Bleus.

"His return? It's a very good thing for him, he never gave up. He has been performing for years at Real. What he's doing there is fantastic," Lloris told Nice-Matin.

"He won everything for the club. He comes back with the desire to add a line to his huge track record. It's good for the France team, it adds one more talent, there was already a lot.

"He will also bring his great experience. Between great players, the current passes very quickly."
