Antonio Conte provides update on Hugo Lloris contract talks with Tottenham

Antonio Conte has revealed that Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris has started talks with the club over extending his contract beyond this summer. The goalkeeper's current deal ends in the summer but there is said to be a willingness from both sides to get his contract extended, with Conte in particular pushing for him to stay at the club. Spurs boss has made it clear that those talks have begun to keep the 35-year-old in a Tottenham shirt beyond the summer. Conte said:

"I think so, I think that they have started to talk. You know very well what I think about Hugo.   "Also previously I spoke and said that he’s our captain, he is a top goalkeeper for us, he has great experience. He knows very well Tottenham.   "He loves this shirt and this badge. For me he is an important player and I’m sure that they are going to find a solution for him to continue to play with Tottenham.   "I think and I repeat because I am not the person that speaks to renew the contract with the players. There is the club and the people that do this, but for sure I am very confident about this situation to be positive."
