Antonio Conte has labelled Hugo Lloris as one of the most important goalkeepers in the world after he committed his future to Tottenham.
Spurs confirmed this morning that World Cup winner Lloris had signed a new two year contract that will run until 2024.
The agreement will extend his association with Spurs to 12 years following his arrival from Lyon in 2012.
Head coach Conte said: ‘It is important our captain has renewed his contract. Not only for one year but for two.
‘It means that the club and the whole environment trusts him. He is a point of reference for the team and for the club. It was right to sign a contract for two years.
‘He is an important goalkeeper in the world, he has won a lot with his national team, he is captain of France, captain of Tottenham.
‘I think that it was right to renew his contract at the club, it was very good to do this.’
