Hugo Lloris issues exciting Clement Lenglet update as he hails Tottenham transfer

Hugo Lloris has claimed he is "really happy" following Clement Lenglet's move to the club on a season-long loan deal from Barcelona. A regular in Barca's team up until last season, the Spurs captain knows the centre-back very well having played with him numerous times on international duty for France.

Capable of playing on the left of the back three and also centrally, Lenglet will give Antonio Conte plenty of options next season as he looks to have Spurs challenging at the top of the Premier League and also for major honours. Lloris believes the new signing has all the qualities to help the team and that his experience will prove invaluable.

"I'm really happy. I would have preferred him to be here with the team but it was not to be and he is working very hard to be with the team when we return," Lloris told when speaking ahead of Saturday's friendly against Sevilla. "He's the kind of player who is going to help the team with his experience, having played with Barcelona and the national team, even if the last time he was not called he has that experience.

"As a player he's a modern defender, able to play from the back, good left foot and he can be strong in the air. It's never easy when you come to the Premier League and he will have to adapt. I'm even more happy with it because I have a great relationship with him."

The end of next month will mark 10 years since Lloris moved to Tottenham from Lyon. The World Cup winner may not have experienced a summer like the current one with Spurs so active in the transfer market ahead of the season, something which has left him very excited ahead of the new term.
