Didier Deschamps has indicated that Hugo Lloris is unhappy with comments made by his new club manager André Villas-Boas, just four days after the France goalkeeper's move to White Hart Lane.

Lloris left Lyon for Tottenham Hotspur in an £12m move on Friday, with the clear intention of taking the No1 shirt from Brad Friedel. With Friedel now 41, it appeared Lloris, 16 years his junior, had been brought in with the idea of replacing the American.

But Friedel responded to his arrival by producing one of the performances of his career against Norwich City on Saturday, prompting Villas-Boas to say that Lloris would have to fight to win a starting spot.

That does not appear to have gone down well with Lloris, who linked up with the France squad on Monday. His national manager, Deschamps, said: "Hugo has not appreciated the statements of his coach.

"I am not going to create a problem that I do not need today. But if it were to happen then it would need some consideration. I do not want Hugo to find himself in this situation."
