Lyon star set to snub Arsenal and join rivals Tottenham

Hugo Lloris in action for France
 

Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris favours a move to Tottenham over Arsenal, according to reports in France.

Lloris, the France captain, had been expected to tie up a move to Arsenal after Lyon had expressed their willingness to cash in on the 25-year-old.

And reports in France last week indicated that Arsenal had reached an agreement with Lyon for the transfer of the highly-rated goalkeeper.

However, French newspaper L’Equipe claims Lloris has changed his mind after a conversation with new Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas, who has offered him assurances that he’ll have more playing time at White Hart Lane.
