Tottenham gave three potential reason why Hugo Lloris’s contract should be terminated

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to terminate the contract of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

The 36-year-old has just under a year remaining on his current deal, but has made it clear that he is keen to seek pastures new after 11 years in North London.

Lloris, who has been stripped of the Spurs captaincy, had been heavily linked with a move to Lazio, but a switch to the Serie A club failed to materialise as the Frenchman was unwilling to play second fiddle behind current number one Ivan Provedel.

A possible return to boyhood club Nice was also mooted for Lloris, who is also understood to have turned down the chance to move to Saudi Arabia.

Tottenham’s London rivals Chelsea were also credited with an interest in the veteran shot-stopper, but they instead completed the signing of Djordje Petrovic to provide backup for fellow new recruit Robert Sanchez.

Lloris is now struggling to find himself a new club and is not in the first-team plans of new Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou, who is content with new first-choice Guglielmo Vicario and backup Fraser Forster in the goalkeeping department.

According to Football Insider, Lloris could have his £100,000-a-week contract terminated by Tottenham in an attempt to advance the process of finding a new club.

Although Lloris has previously rebuffed interest from Saudi Arabia, a move to the Middle East remains a viable option as their transfer window does not shut until Thursday.

Lloris could also be presented with offers from clubs in the Turkish Super Lig as their transfer window does not closes until September 15.
