Hugo Lloris to leave if Tottenham fail in Champions League quest

Tottemham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is reportedly considering his future at the club.

The France international, 28, signed a five-year contract at Spurs only last summer but is demanding he plays Champions League football.

And with Spurs on the verge of missing out on a top-four finish in the Premier League, it appears Lloris' days at White Hart Lane are numbered.

According to the Guardian, Lloris is frustrated that after three years at the north London club he is yet to kick a ball in the Champions League.

The £8million signing from Lyon in 2012 has kept just nine clean sheets in 39 appearances this season, compared to 18 in 45 games across the whole of the last campaign.

There would be no shortage of bidders for Lloris if he became available in the summer transfer window.

Paris Saint-Germain are thought to be interested in the stopper, but Lloris' reported preference is to remain in the Premier League.

Manchester United are also considered as suitors and would likely make a bid if their current number one David De Gea forces a move to Real Madrid.

Spurs aren't exactly lacking adequate cover either, with third-choice Netherlands goalkeeper Michel Vorm on the sidelines waiting for his opportunity.

Vorm, 31, greatly impressed in the Premier League at Swansea and was signed for £4.5m just two weeks after Lloris extended his contract this summer.
