Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris open to Nice return

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris is open to a move to Nice.

Lloris, 35, first signed for Nice at the age of 10 and worked his way through the club's youth ranks before making his senior debut eight years later.

Lloris is set to enter the final six months of his current deal and an extension doesn't appear to be on the cards, meaning any potential suitors can snap him up on a free transfer at the turn of the year.

Foot Mercato says Nice want to bring their academy graduate back to France when his Spurs deal is up at the end of June.

Les Aiglons' first-choice goalkeeper Walter Benitez is expected to leave in the near future and the club regard Lloris as the ideal replacement for their outgoing shot-stopper.
