Lloris has been unstable at times in Tottenham’s goal this season, and players like Nick Pope and Dean Henderson have been hired as replacements.
But Football London says the English pair is likely to be too expensive for Spurs.
Lloris is now expected to stay with Tottenham beyond the end of the season, and the club may even offer him a new contract to keep him longer.

Lloris has been at Tottenham for eight years now, so an extension of his stay would begin to make him one of the oldest North London club players in modern history.
Lloris, who was hailed as ‘world-class’ by Sky expert Rob Green this season (Stadium Astro), still plays a significant role for Spurs despite his advanced years as club captain.
His influence off the field is unquestionable, but whether offering him a long extension would be the right decision is up for debate.
While Lloris has a wealth of experience and remains a quality closer, he has also proven to be error prone this season.
As a result, Tottenham’s defense has been shaky, and if Spurs really do toughen up at the rear next season, a more stable goalkeeper would surely have been a canny investment.
