Hugo Lloris: I'm glad I decided to remain at Tottenham Hotspur

Hugo Lloris has said his decision to stay at Tottenham Hotspur has been justified by the club's progress under manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Lloris joined Spurs from Lyon in 2012 but considered leaving after two turbulent seasons that concluded with the sackings of Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood.

But the France captain said he decided to stay after Pochettino succeeded Sherwood in summer 2014, with the manager appointing the goalkeeper club captain soon afterwards.

Spurs have since mounted two Premier League title challenges, but their 1-1 Champions League draw at Real Madrid, in which Man of the Match Lloris made a number of stunning saves, felt like a landmark performance.
