Olympique de Lyonnais keen to renew Hugo Lloris’ contract – Ligue 1 news
Olympique de Lyonnais President, Jean-Michel Aulas, has revealed that OL are negotiating a new deal with goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 International’s stellar performances between the posts for the club.
Hugo Lloris has arguably been the best goalkeeper in the French League this season and his performances for Lyon have been stand-out to say the least. Lyon have the second best defensive record in the current 2010/11 French Ligue 1 campaign, largely down
to Hugo Lloris’ calm presence in Les Gones goal. Jean-Michel Aulas realises the player’s importance to Lyon’s long-term plans and is now looking to reward the player with a new and improved contract. While talking to the media, Aulas said, "We'd like to have
this wrapped up within a month and give him the good terms that he deserves and that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 want."
Hugo Lloris has kept 10 clean-sheets for Lyon this season and has already cemented a starting spot in the French national side. The former French champions are reportedly in talks with the player’s agent. English Premier League sides, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Tottenham
Hotspur, are reportedly interested in the services of the 24-year-old Frenchman – another reason for the club president to seal a new deal with the shot-stopper at the earliest.
Since joining from fellow Ligue 1 outfit http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/OGC-Nice-c40111 in 2008, Hugo Lloris has been in sensational form for Lyon, making 96 appearances for Les Gones in the process. In his first season at the Rhone club, Lloris was named the Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year.
Lloris was also a part of the France Under-19 side that won the UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship after beating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Northern-Ireland-c2972.
As things stand, Lyon are third in the Ligue 1 table and looking to close the gap on leaders, Olympique Marseille. Though OM sit five points clear of Les Gones, Claude Puel’s men have six games left in the season and a title chase is still far from over.
