French shot-stopper rules out Arsenal move

Lloris happy at Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has insisted that he is not interested in a summer move to Arsenal, following comments made by fellow countrymate Olivier Giroud.

French international Olivier Giroud, who currently plays his trade with Arsenal claimed on Thursday that the former Lyon shot-stopper had shown his desire in joining the Gunners.

However, this was put to an end by Lloris who clearly stated that he is happy at Spurs.

"I heard about that," the 27-year-old said. "I think maybe some words were twisted, but it is embarrassing. I don't think that, I'm very focused on Spurs' ambition and I am very pleased to play for Spurs.

"I have too much respect for the club and the Spurs fans to think that kind of thing. Of course I know him very well because we are teammates in the national team - the same with Laurent Koscielny - but I am a Spurs player and I'm very proud to play here."

Lloris has made 51 Premier League appearances for Spurs since his move from Lyon in the summer of 2012.
