Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur have fumed over a report which has suggested that Hugo Lloris may be poached by Paris Saint-Germain.
The claim was made by Eurosport, as cited by The Sun, as former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is nearing a move to PSG following Thomas Tuchel’s sacking.
Eurosport’s report claimed that supporters should ‘expect a Tottenham raid‘ if the Argentine is to be appointed by the Ligue 1 club.
The report touted several names of Spurs players who could be poached by PSG and they included Dele Alli, Serge Aurier, Hugo Lloris and Harry Winks.
The claim regarding Lloris was relayed on Twitter by Last Word On Spurs and that had lots of fans talking.

So far this season, Lloris has made 15 appearances for Spurs in the Premier League in which he has managed to keep five clean sheets (per Transfermarkt).
His performances in the outings have earned him a fairly respectable 6.77/10 average rating, making him the joint-eighth-best performer in Tottenham’s squad (per WhoScored).
