Lloris wants Champions League football

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris said he does not want to discuss a possible exit but conceded the lure of UEFA Champions League football is strong.

Lloris is reportedly a prime target for Manchester United, should David de Gea join La Liga giants Real Madrid as expected.

"I am still a Spurs player," Lloris told Sky Sports News HQ after France's 4-3 defeat to Belgium in an international friendly on Sunday.

"I have a contract until 2019 and I have a lot of respect for the gaffer, the club and my teammates, so I don't want to speak about it.

"For any player you need to play at the highest level to improve yourself to help your national team to improve. I think every player wants to play in the Champions League because it is the highest level. We work for that and I hope to play Champions League football again. 

"At the moment, De Gea is still Manchester United keeper so I have no need to talk about that."
