Tottenham fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are encouraged by Mauricio Pochettino’s comments as talkSPORT reveal that Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is happy at Spurs despite interest from Real Madrid.

There has been continued speculation that Lloris is Real Madrid’s transfer plan B should Los Blancos fail to sign Manchester United’s David De Gea.

The France captain has the leadership qualities as well as the experience to become a Real Madrid first team player but Pochettino insists that the former Lyon goalkeeper is happy at White Hart Lane.

The particular rumour that has been flying around the tavern regarding the Frenchman is that Real Madrid are lining up a £25 million bid for the 28-year-old.

But even if Madrid sign De Gea instead of Lloris, Spurs could still potentially suffer because if Manchester United lose their number one keeper, they could then turn their attentions to the Frenchman themselves.

Despite the reports, Pochettino says he has no intentions to sell his current number one.

“Hugo is one of the best keepers in the world and I have recognised that,” he said.

“His contribution is magnificent, Hugo is very happy here with us. It’s difficult for these kind of clubs to get him because he’s happy here.

“Maybe in the future he can play in the Champions League with Tottenham.”
