Hugo Lloris believes Tottenham have the ability to challenge for a place in the top three of the Premier League.

Lloris had to be patient after initially making the move to England due to Andre Villas-Boas keeping faith with Brad Friedel. Now established as the first-choice goalkeeper at Spurs, Lloris reckons the experience of challenging Friedel for the position has made him stronger. "Things were very clear, that I was coming to Tottenham as the number one," he told RTL. "But the manager made a decision at the start, and then made a different one a few weeks later. The negotiations over the move were with the chairman, but it was also the choice of the coach. I also had talks with him during that time. "It's not easy, because I came in after the start of the season, and he was already under pressure because the results were not good at that point in time. It's the sort of situation which helps you grow, it's a personal challenge." To find out more about live football on Sky Sports, Click here
