Tottenham facing fight to keep Lloris as Roma line up swoop

1 Hugo Lloris

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has emerged as summer transfer target for Roma, reports in Italy claim.

Since moving to White Hart Lane from Lyon for £12m in 2012, Lloris has become a key part of the Spurs side.

The France international has been so impressive that he was offered a new and improved five-year deal by Tottenham in the summer, which he duly signed.

However, according to Corriere dello Sport, Roma are now looking to lure Lloris to Serie A by promising him Champions League football.

The Serie A club are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper next summer after their current number one, Morgan De Sanctis, confirmed he would not be extending his contract beyond the end of this season.
