Lloris 'watchful' of de Gea future

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has indicated he would be open to a move to Manchester United if David de Gea leaves for Real Madrid.

Lloris is reportedly on a United shortlist of possible replacements for De Gea, who is said to be considering his future with only one year left on his Old Trafford contract and Madrid keen on taking him back to Spain.

In comments carried in The Sun, Lloris said: “For the moment there is a goalkeeper at United and we are watchful of his situation. You have to keep a certain calm with all this.

“If things should happen then they’ll happen naturally.”

Lloris, 28, joined Spurs from Lyon in 2012 and has made 99 league appearances. He is under contract at White Hart Lane until 2019.
