Tottenham have extended Hugo Lloris’ contract to 2024, ending speculation over his future at the club.
The French goalkeeper and club captain was due to leave Spurs when his original deal expired in the summer.
“I feel really happy, obviously for me, but also for my family, to extend my stay in London and at Spurs for the next two years,” Lloris told the club website.
“I feel it’s a privilege to play football and to play for such a big club like Spurs. Also, the relationship with the fans is important for me. In the last few months, I’ve felt their support even more than before. So, the decision was really easy to take for me.
“I’m really happy to be in this situation and to be focussed now on the next months and years, to continue our work and to continue the development of our team.”
After Harry Kane warned Tottenham’s stars to make the most of working under new boss Antonio Conte, Lloris echoed his sentiment.
“I believe we are in a new process under Antonio Conte, with strong team basics to give us a foundation and a structure,” said the goalkeeper. “Then, it’s up to the players to show their quality. Step by step, we’ll then see improvement.
“My wish is to become even more competitive and to close the gap with the best teams in England, and why not get back into the Champions League? This season, this is my personal target, to help the team and the club to continue in that way, and to enjoy football.
“Now, it’s the beginning of a new process and hopefully, with the help of Antonio and his staff, with his experience, with his energy, with his discipline, we’re going to make something important for the club.”
