Hugo Lloris has been linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, with a move to Saudi Arabia possible.
Hugo Lloris has fallen out of favour at Tottenham, and he was linked with a number of moves during the summer transfer window. However, those transfers did not materialise, and Daily Mail claims that Saudi Arabian clubs are now keen on signing the Tottenham goalkeeper.
Lloris has been a reliable presence in between the sticks for Tottenham over the years. But he has clearly regressed over the past year. His error-prone performances have cost his side valuable points, and it is high time Tottenham move on from him.
The North London outfit have already signed Guglielmo Vicario as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper, and they were hoping to cash in on Lloris during the summer transfer window. The window is still open for Saudi Arabian clubs, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince the French international to join them.
The 36-year-old is in the final year of his contract with Tottenham, and the North London outfit will not want to lose him on a free transfer. It makes sense for time to cash in on a reasonable price right now. But Lloris recently explained his decision to snub a Tottenham exit.
Lloris is clearly not good enough to start for a top Premier League club right now, and a move to Saudi Arabia could be an exciting opportunity for him at this stage of his career. The 36-year-old earns around £100,000-a-week at Tottenham, and he is likely to get a more lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabian clubs have been very active in the transfer market this summer, and they have signed a number of top-class players from top European leagues. Lloris could prove to be a quality addition for them.
The 36-year-old won the 2018 World Cup with this country, and he has been a reliable performer in the Premier League over the years. Although he is not at his best anymore, Lloris’s quality, experience, and leadership qualities could prove to be invaluable additions to a Saudi Arabian club.
