Hugo Lloris is set to give Tottenham a new boost by committing himself to the club for the next five years.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino announced on Friday that he has agreed a new deal – and Lloris is ready to follow suit.

The goalkeeper is rated among the best in the Premier League and will captain France in the European Championships this summer.

Lloris was close to leaving the club after their failure to reach the Champions League and was lined up by Manchester United as a replacement for David de Gea if the Spaniard had gone to Real Madrid.

But Pochettino persuaded Lloris to stay and the Frenchman has been hugely impressed with the progress made by Spurs.

Now he is ready to extend a contract that currently keeps him at White Hart Lane until 2019.

He would be happy to extend that agreement and talks are likely to start ahead of the Euros.

And the 29-year-old Lloris could well be one of several first team players to secure new contracts now that Pochettino has made the decision about his long-term future.

The likes of Kyle Walker, Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose and Christian Eriksen could all make similar commitments.

And Pochettino is ready to add to his squad with a £ 23 million bid for Olympique Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.
