the end of the season if and more likely
when Tottenham Hotspur do not qualify
for the Champions League. The France
goalkeeper signed a five-year contract
last July but he has long made it plain to
the club’s chairman, Daniel Levy, that
he wants to play in the Champions
League.
Tottenham even took Michel Vorm from
Swansea City two weeks after Lloris had
re-signed in a move that was seen as a
shrewd contingency on Levy’s part in
the event of Lloris pushing to join a
Champions League club. Vorm, 31, was
Holland’s third-choice goalkeeper at the
World Cup in Brazil and cost £4.5m.
Lloris is frustrated and finds his career
approaching a crossroads. He joined
from Lyon in 2012 for an initial £8m
and he hoped to play with Spurs in the
Champions League. It has not happened
and Lloris knows there is the strong
possibility that it will not do so next
season either. Tottenham trail fourth-
placed Manchester City by seven points
and have a hugely inferior goal
difference, with five matches to play
