The France international has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane in search of elite European football but the Argentine insists that his keeper is happy to stay
Mauricio Pochettino is confident that Hugo Lloris will not leave Tottenham and that the Frenchman can achieve his Champions League ambitions at White Hart Lane.
Reports have linked Lloris with a move away from north London in the close-season in search of elite European football but Pochettino expects his goalkeeper, who signed a five-year contract renewal in July, to stay put.
"Nothing has changed from four, five or six months ago, when we last spoke about the rumour," the Spurs boss told reporters.
"Hugo wants to play the Champions League here for Tottenham and everything else is just rumours.
"Nothing is true and nothing has changed with the situation. He is happy here and wants to reach the Champions League with Tottenham; that is his dream."
Pochettino also reiterated that Harry Kane's involvement for England at the Under-21s European Championship later this year would be down to the striker, after Football Association chairman Greg Dyke claimed that the youngster had signalled his willingness to feature.
"The situation hasn't changed, it's a situation for [the FA] and for Harry," said the Argentine.
"He's a hero now for the country. When you speak about Harry, you smile. It's easy to speak about Harry.
"It's a very good thing, nothing has changed. We needed to understand that it's Harry's decision."
