Hugo is tempted by Spurs' 'great project' as he sees future far from Nice

Nice goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is prepared to listen to an offer from Tottenham as well as AC Milan and Lyon.  


The 21-year-old, rated as one of the most promising prospects in France, is on the radar of the top clubs in Europe and Milan are seen to be in pole position to sign him.

The youngster told L'Equipe: "I am not closing the door to anyone.  

"Lyon have continuity and they are in the Champions League as well. Milan are the Calcio and all that follows. 

"And Tottenham, they have a great project for the future with a very successful manager. 

 "I will go where I have the feeling I can improve best until the highest level."  

Spurs have allowed Radek Cerny to leave for QPR and are looking for a goalkeeper.

They missed out on signing Bolivia striker Marcelo Moreno, who moved to Shakhtar Donetsk from Cruzeiro, while interest in Samuel Eto'o from Barcelona has cooled. 

Spurs are still in the hunt for Barcelona youngster Giovani dos Santos, and reports in Spain have linked striker Dimitar Berbatov with moving to the Nou Camp in the opposite direction.  

Berbatov will be allowed to leave White Hart Lane if an appropriate bid is tabled.

Reports in Spain have also linked Spurs with lodging a big for Sevilla winger Diego Capel, although it has been suggested the tax involved in the deal would be a problem that needs resolving.
