Tottenham Hotspur’s Christmas 2016: Hugo Lloris, Charades and Sitcom Specials
- Updated: December 24, 2016
Talk about a great Christmas present for Tottenham Hotspur supporters. The news on Thursday that goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris had signed a new contract with the club until 2022 was probably the most significant of this year’s numerous renewals and extensions.
Already highly rated from his time at Olympique Lyonnais, since joining in 2012, Lloris has established himself as one of the Premier League and Europe’s best ‘keepers. Consequently, there has understandably been unease in some lower points—such as the recent Champions League elimination—over Tottenham’s ability to keep the France international.
While the new contract does not guarantee he’ll spend the foreseeable future in north London, it gives the club security from losing him cheaply. For now, though, the knowledge he will not be leaving anytime soon will fill Spurs fans with plenty of festive cheer.
We are delighted to announce that Hugo Lloris has signed a new contract with the Club, which will run until 2022. ✍
