Tottenham Hotspur full-backs Danny Rose and Kyle Walker can get even better, according to Hugo Lloris.
During an interview with the Evening Standard, Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris backed teammates Danny Rose and Kyle Wlaker to reach the heights of French legends Bixente Lizarazu and Lilian Thuram.
Rose and Walker have fully established themselves as first-choice starters for both club and country over the past year or so, and continue to impress with their marauding displays.
And Lloris responded to a question asking him if the Tottenham full-backs can emulate the French pair, as quoted by the Evening Standard:
Tottenham’s Danny Rose in action
“Yes, and for England, too. They are still competing with good players but if they keep working hard, I would not be surprised if they have great international careers — and they will help the club achieve great things as well.”
Spurs seem to have got their season back in track in recent weeks, after winning three of their last four Premier League games, and both Rose and Walker have played a crucial part in their resurgence.
The now sit just a point behind fourth-placed Arsenal, and will be confident of stringing together a run of victories over the Christmas period.

The full-back pair are 26-years-old, and will likely be a permanent fixture for Tottenham and England for the best part of the next decade.
And if they continue to improve as they have done over the past two years, they have every chance of becoming legends in the game, just like Lizarazu and Thuram.
