Tottenham skipper Lloris hails competition with 'top man' Gollini

Tottenham Hotspur captain Hugo Lloris says Pierluigi Gollini is pushing him every day in training.

Gollini was brought in last summer as competition for the veteran goalkeeper.

"He's a top man, top man," Lloris told Tottenham's Twitch channel of Gollini.

"He's bringing every day his energy, his positive energy, his freshness – he's a great teammate to be honest. And we enjoy working together, also with Brandon.

"We try to push each other. That's fantastic when you have this feeling with your teammate.

"It's been the case many times in my Spurs career with Michel Vorm, Paulo Gazzaniga, with Brad Friedel, there's been so many, many keepers. And when you work in that condition, it's just amazing."
