Jose Mourinho has made it clear to Hugo Lloris that adding Joe Hart to the Tottenham squad will bring serious competition for a place in the team.
Lloris remains one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he helped France to win the World Cup in 2018.
He is one of the best in the Premier League even though he didn’t have the best of seasons the last time out.
He was out with injury for several months, but when he returned it was not even a debate that he got back the number one shirt from Paolo Gazzaniga.
However, it might become a different story in the coming season after Tottenham managed to secure the signature of Hart.
The former England number one has had a tough few years, but he remains a decent goalkeeper and Mourinho believes that he still has the capacity to give Lloris a run for a place in the club’s first team.
“Joe is one of the top keepers of the last decade in the country. He started very early, playing in a big club like City and playing for the national team,” Mourinho said via HITC.
“He has all the experience, I think a negative episode a few years ago has marked his career for the last two or three years, because it’s not easy to leave a champion club and then to go into clubs of another dimension.
“Now he has a chance to be back at a club like us
“Of, course Hugo is our captain – he is world champion captain. He’s a phenomenal goalkeeper and is very important in our group, but I think Joe will give him the hard competition that we need.”
