Nice are ready to make an offer for Tottenham Hotspur’s Hugo Lloris, the Telegraph report.

Lloris’ future at Spurs is currently uncertain, after a dip in form of late.

The French stopper has struggled this season, with his error-count increasing in recent weeks.

Already there is talk that Tottenham could bring in a replacement for him.

And Nice are apparently ready to offer Lloris a return to the club he started his career at.

It could be a fairytale end to the World Cup winner’s career, and Spurs may well feel that the time is right to cash in on him.

Jose Mourinho has never publicly chastised Lloris, but for a manager famed for his defensive work, the 34-year-old’s mistake ridden displays must have been frustrating to watch at times.

Lloris has spent the last nine years at Tottenham, having originally been signed for £8 million by then manager Andre Villas-Boas (BBC Sport).

And with the custodian having just a year left on his current deal at Spurs, it could be a good time for the North London club to cash in on the experienced goalkeeper.
