Tottenham ‘in discussions with Serie A giants over Hugo Lloris transfer’ with keeper ‘keen on joining’

TOTTENHAM are in talks to offload Hugo Lloris to Lazio.

The Serie A giants are reportedly pressing hard to land the keeper.

Unsettled stopper Hugo Lloris is tipped to depart Spurs for ItalyRex

The French World Cup winner, 36, wants a fresh challenge outside England.

And that “desire” has surely grown since new boss Ange Postecoglou sidelined the 145-cap star in his 13th year at Spurs.

Sky Sports’ Gianluca DiMarzio says Lazio are in a hurry after agreeing to sell Portuguese stopper Luis Maximiano to Almeria.

Lloris is regarded as one of the main options for their manager Maurizio Sarri.

And negotiations between Tottenham and Lazio are continuing ahead of the Serie A kick-off this weekend.

Postecoglou handed summer recruit Guglielmo Vicario an instant Premier League debut between the sticks in last Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Brentford.

The uncapped Italian, 26, arrived from Empoli for £16.3million on a five-year deal.

And in the same month Lloris openly admitted he hopes to leave.

He told French media in June: “It’s the end of an era. I have desires for other things.

“But I don’t forget that I still have a year of contract with Tottenham and that in football it is always difficult to predict what will happen.”
