Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is set to be of interest to clubs in Saudi Arabia again in the January transfer window.

The Frenchman was one of the first names on the team sheet for a decade at Spurs, but since Ange Postecoglou‘s arrival in the summer, he hasn’t had a look-in. Now, it’s only a matter of time before he leaves Tottenham.

Clubs in Saudi Arabia are circling to sign Hugo Lloris from Tottenham

Hugo Lloris has been at Tottenham since joining them from Olympique Lyon all the way back in the summer of 2012.

The Frenchman was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe during his prime years at Spurs, and he played a key part during their highs under Mauricio Pochettino.

Lloris’ performance levels gradually dropped over the last few years, and it became clear at the end of last season that Tottenham had to sign an upgrade.

In came Guglielmo Vicario, and the Italian has arguably been their signing of the summer.

That has resulted in Lloris dropping out of the side, and the Frenchman hasn’t made a single appearance since the start of this season.

A move away in January is likely, and The Sun claim this week that ‘clubs in Saudi Arabia are beginning to circulate’ to sign him when the window opens next week.

Lloris needs to leave Tottenham

It’s clear as day that there’s no way back for Hugo Lloris at Tottenham.

The Frenchman cannot even get on the bench – even Fraser Forster is ahead of him in Ange Postecoglou’s pecking order.

A move away in January is the best thing for all parties, and we won’t even be surprised if Tottenham agree to let him leave for free – just to get his £100,000-a-week wages (Spotrac) off the books for the next six months.

Newcastle United have also been linked with a move to sign Lloris, so it will be interesting to see where he’ll end up if he does leave next month.
