Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino had played down ‘rumours’ that Hugo Lloris is set to leave White Hart Lane in the summer.
The French shot stopper has been heavily linked with a move away from Spurs at the end of the season, but Pochettino has revealed that he will fight to keep all of his best players.
Speaking ahead of Tottenham’s 1-0 home defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, the Spurs boss said; “I think [the report about Lloris] is a rumour and I do not have any comment.
“I do not want to speak about rumours, about Hugo or other players. We are focused and we try to finish the season as best as possible. That rumour is impossible to stop but we need to accept it is part of the game.
“In football it is difficult. You never know. If you sign the contract you never have the guarantee. I have a contract and so do a lot of managers but there is never guarantee. But it is true if I want some player to stay with us I fight a lot.”
