Tottenham have secured the long-term services of yet another of their central talents today with the news that Hugo Lloris has extended his contract until 2020.
Six years. Six ans. C’est beau.
Also proving that Spurs really did only hire their photographer for one afternoon back in May, Lloris appeared in the now-familiar ‘Poch Pal™’ pose as the club announced the sealing of the deal on Thursday afternoon…

So that’s Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Moussa Dembele, Eric Dier, Dele Alli, Kyle Walker, Danny Rose and even Pochettino himself who have signed fresh long-term contract extensions at Spurs in the last six months or so.
It’s fair to say Pochettino is an ‘arm round the shoulder’ type of gaffer 😉 #COYS (🎥 via @br_uk)pic.twitter.com/HyJ8WjLdiD

As one of the very best, most in-demand ‘keepers in world football (that reaction speed!), Lloris probably still ranks as the biggest coup of the lot.
