Jan Vertonghen has urged Tottenham ‘keeper Hugo Lloris to reject the advances of Manchester United this summer.

With David De Gea believed to be close to securing his move to Real Madrid, the Frenchman has been linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer.

Lloris, who has 65 caps for France, moved to north London in 2012 following a £12m move from French side Lyon.

And Vertonghen is hoping that the 28-year-old rejects the chance to move to Louis van Gaal’s side this summer in favour of staying at White Hart Lane.

‘He’s a great guy, great captain, great goalkeeper and a brilliant player for us,’ Vertonghen told SkySports.



‘He’s the captain, very important and this season he was one of our best players.

‘If you want to continue growing as a club you have to keep your best players and Hugo is one of them.

‘I hope Tottenham can keep him. It will be a sign for everyone next year that we want to compete in the Premier League.’
