Tottenham Transfer News: Hugo Lloris Talks Spurs Future, Moussa Sissoko Rumours

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has said his Spurs future is connected with that of coach Mauricio Pochettino after forming a close bond with the Argentinian.

Speaking to French paper Le Figaro (h/t Vaishali Bhardwaj of the London Evening Standard), the White Hart Lane captain explained the strength of his relationship with Pochettino, declaring him the greatest coach on the planet:

"

My future lies with Mauricio. It's a certainty.

It matters a lot to me. Our relationship goes beyond football. One day he will be the best coach in the world. 

For me, he already is. His presence and our relationship are what matter the most to me in my eyes.

I feel very good here, after all in football, everything is still fragile and can change very quickly.

It appears if the manager stays at the helm and does not decide to move on, his primary stopper will remain with him in north London.

According to L'Equipe (h/t Andrew Richardson of The Sun), the France international has been monitored by Real Madrid as they assess their options for a new No. 1. Los Blancos prefer David De Gea, Thibaut Courtois or Gianluigi Donnarumma, but Lloris is on President Florentino Perez's wish list.

The 30-year-old has once again been in fine form as Spurs continue to chase Chelsea at the top of the league.

Lloris has achieved 10 clean sheets from 25 Premier League appearances this term, according to Squawka.com.

In other news, Moussa Sissoko could be on his way out of the Lane after reports said the player's representatives will hold discussions with Spurs.

L’Equipe (h/t Chris Waugh of Chronicle Live) reported the club could be tempted to accept a loss to sell at £17 million after the player failed to make an impression.

Sissoko excelled at Euro 2016 for France, but he has now lost his place in the national squad after failing to play sufficient minutes at club level.

The Frenchman was a costly purchase from Newcastle United, and his signing was a calculated risk from Pochettino as he attempted to strengthen his squad.

However, the midfielder has not settled into life at a top-four club and will have to step down an echelon to facilitate more time on the pitch.
