Transfer news: Hugo Lloris appears to want to stay in Ligue 1

Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris appears focused on playing for the French side in Ligue 1, despite interest from Arsenal and Tottenham.

The 25-year-old France captain is now looking at taking the fight to big-spending Paris Saint-Germain.

“Aside from us, I would say PSG [are among the favourites for the title],” Lloris told FourFourTwo.

“They are a talented team. They have spent a lot of money and have some very good players.

“The pressure will really be on them to prove they are the best.”

The Ligue 1 favourites have brought in the likes of Ezequiel Lavezzi, Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic yet Lloris believes this will make Ligue 1 stronger.

“This is modern football,” he added. “All the great clubs buy the best players.

“I think it will make all the clubs in Ligue 1 better.

“It will also bring a lot of attention to our championship around the world and that is a good thing.

“I look forward to playing them.”
