Hugo Lloris has reaffirmed his commitment to Tottenham, insisting that he never considered leaving the club this summer.

Lloris has often found himself linked with a departure from White Hart Lane, with speculation surrounding Lloris’ future growing particularly intense last summer when Manchester United considered him as a potential replacement for David de Gea.

However, when it comes to transfers at least, this summer has been notably quieter for the France and Tottenham captain.

Last month Lloris suggested that Mauricio Pochettino’s decision to extend his contract was likely to convince him to do the same, and it appears there is little that can be done to prise Lloris away from the Lane.

Asked whether his phone had been buzzing with transfer offers during the summer Lloris told L’Equipe: “I turned it off. There have been rumours of my departure for many summers.

“From the moment we reached our goal, in spring, my mind was made up. I’ve never asked myself the question. I knew I would stay.

“I am in a project which started really with Pochettino. The first two seasons, yes, it didn’t happen as I wished collectively, but the challenges have helped me make my way. They saw that they could count on me.”

After Spurs’ third place finish last season Lloris will lead his side out at Wembley for the club’s home Champions League fixtures, though he may be unavailable for the first fixture after suffering a hamstring injury in the season opening draw with Everton.

Having arrived at Tottenham two years after they had last appeared in Europe’s top club competition Lloris is eager to get the club’s Champions League campaign underway at their temporary home in Wembley.

“It is an indescribable competition. This is where you have to be, and where you want to be.”

Tottenham will find out their group stage opponents on Thursday. Roma’s 3-0 loss to Porto in the Stadio Olimpico means Spurs are guaranteed to be placed in Pot Three when the draw takes place in Lyon, meaning they could face two sides as fearsome as Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Juventus before Christmas.
