I News have claimed that a young Hugo Lloris was recommended as a signing to Newcastle prior to his move to Tottenham Hotspur eleven years ago.
Lloris will undoubtedly go down as one of Spurs’ biggest legends of modern times, with the Frenchman undoubtedly being the best goalkeeper that Tottenham have had during the Premier League era.
The 36-year-old’s spell at the North London club has perhaps not ended the way he would have wanted, with the former Tottenham captain now simply making up the numbers in the club’s Premier League squad until he seals his departure.
However, Spurs fans will certainly look back fondly on the goalkeeper’s time at the club despite the former Lyon man not tasting silverware in N17.

Newcastle were told to sign a young Hugo Lloris
I News have now alleged that Lloris could have ended up at St James’ Park had things worked out a little differently.
The outlet states that the Magpies’ former chief scout, Graham Carr, recommended the goalkeeper to the Newcastle hierarchy when he was young, budding goalkeeper but the club decided against making a move for him.
Spurs Web Opinion
It is important for fans to remember that Lloris could have quite easily left Spurs before we peaked under Pochettino as he was one of the most highly-rated goalkeepers in the world when we were struggling as a team under AVB and Sherwood. Instead, the Frenchman showed tremendous loyalty by sticking around at Tottenham.
