Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho is planning to tie Hugo Lloris down on a new deal, according to ESPN.

Lloris’s current deal at Spurs is set to expire in 2022, but Spurs are eager to keep him for even longer.

Lloris may still be 33, but Mourinho seemingly has a belief that he can perform at the top level for plenty more years yet.

Tottenham are now preparing to offer Lloris fresh terms to tie down his future, and that should be no surprise.

Mourinho has always spoken highly of Lloris, and called him an ‘amazing goalkeeper’ to BT Sport soon after taking charge.

Lloris’s form has actually improved significantly since Mourinho’s arrival too.

The Frenchman was one of Tottenham’s most consistent performers after the restart, with his performances earning widespread praise.

Lloris offers Tottenham experience and leadership from the back, and it seems that Mourinho is planning to ensure that he is a key player for the years ahead in North London.
