Lloris, who is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and has been at Tottenham since the summer of 2012 when he joined from Lyon for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £11.8 million, has outlined how Pochettino won him and his teammates over.

“Yes, at that moment we were far away from the rest of the English sides in terms of winning the Premier League,” the France international goalkeeper told AS when asked whether the start with Pochettino was difficult.
