# Tottenham Hotspur: Club open talks with Hugo Lloris over new contract as 2020/2021 season looms

**According to a report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-open-new-deal-talks/), Tottenham Hotspur have opened ‘preliminary talks’ to offer club captain Hugo Lloris a ‘blockbuster’ new contract as the club prepare for a 2020/2021 Champions League qualification push – with alleged negotiations now well and truly ‘underway’.**

Jose Mourinho’s side, having already strengthened in key areas with the signings of [Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Matt Doherty](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/alletransfers/verein/148), as well as [75-cap England international](https://www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamPlyrsBios/PlayersH/BioHartCJ.html) Joe Hart on a free transfer, are now reportedly prepared to offer Lloris a fresh contract in order to tie him down further.

Indeed, despite still having two years left on his current deal, the club wish to hand Lloris a new lucrative extension on his current [£100,000-per-week stay.](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-open-new-deal-talks/)

Since signing for Tottenham on transfer deadline day in [the summer of 2012](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/19435575), putting pen to paper on a bargain [£11.8 million move](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/19435575), the Frenchman has gone on to star for the club – making 325 appearances in all competitions over an eight-year spell so far ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hugo-lloris/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/17965)).

His accolades, which include keeping [112 clean sheets](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hugo-lloris/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/17965) in that time, make the transfer fee paid for Lloris look insignificant by comparison, and despite being 33-years-old, his current market value ([£13.05 million](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hugo-lloris/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/17965)) still eclipses the original cost to sign him nearly a decade ago.

Indeed, Lloris’ contributions for Spurs over the 2010s cannot be understated – with a past statement from ex-fan favourite boss Mauricio Pochettino highlighting why the club are allegedly keen to extend his stay.

After the shot-stopper helped Tottenham to a [1-1 draw against Real Madrid](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/17/mauricio-pochettino-hugo-lloris-tottenham-real-madrid-champions-league) in the Champions League group stages two seasons ago, Pochettino waxed lyrical over his capabilities – labelling the veteran as ‘fantastic’ and ‘one of the best goalkeepers in the world’ ([The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/17/mauricio-pochettino-hugo-lloris-tottenham-real-madrid-champions-league)).
