OGC Nice keen on Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris
Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris: OGC Nice is considering a Bosman play for Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who is eager to return to France.
According to Foot Mercato, OGC Nice is closely following the situation of Hugo Lloris. The Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper has become a transfer priority for the Ligue 1 side, who hope to sign him next summer. Lloris’ current contract at Spurs expires at the end of the season, which means he will be available on a free transfer in about six months.
He has made it a prime target for Nice as they prepare for the possible departure of Walter BenÃtez. The Argentine has been one of the best blocks in France this season and may end up leaving the club sooner rather than later. Benitez’s possible departure could pave the way for Lloris to return to his hometown club, and his potential free-agent status makes him an attractive option for the Ligue 1 team.
A native of Nizza, Lloris was part of the Nice youth team from 1995 to 2005, when he was promoted to the senior team. He then made 78 competitive appearances for Les Aiglons before joining Olympique de Lyon in 2008.
After a four-year stint at Lyon that saw him make more than 200 competitive appearances, the talented goalkeeper joined Tottenham in 2012. Since then, the Frenchman has appeared in nearly 400 games for the North London giants, emerging as one of the most experienced players. in the Premier League.

Lloris has continued to play a vital role for the Spurs even at the age of 35, and the veteran has kept a clean sheet in seven games in 17 games this season. However, it seems that his time in London could come to an end soon, as the goalkeeper is not very interested in extending his contract that expires at the end of the season.
He opens the door to a possible return to France, with Nice emerging as an ideal destination. The club has enjoyed early success with new coach Christophe Galtier, and the possible addition of the 35-year-old could certainly help the club move a bit further in its quest to challenge PSG for the league title.
As for Tottenham, the uncertain future of Lloris at the club has forced him to look for options in the market. They are already considering a move for Sam Johnstone as a possible successor to the Frenchman, although Antonio Conte may also look to the equally talented Dean Henderson.
