Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas admits they're attempting to close a deal for Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Villas-Boas confirmed his interest in signing Lloris, with whom the Londoners have been in contact regularly for the last week or so.

"We are very comfortable with our goalkeepers, (but) we can take into account that there is a future that we have to prepare for," said the Spurs boss, whose current first choice, Brad Friedel, is 41.

"In that sense we have studied possibilities in that position as well and throughout the goalkeepers available, Hugo is one of the best."
