Hugo Lloris reveals how close he came to leaving Tottenham
Hugo Lloris has been indispensable to Tottenham
 
Lloris was the subject of interest from Manchester United last summer, who at the time were bracing themselves for David de Gea's departure.
But the 29-year-old Frenchman claims he could have left before Pochettino assumed the White Hart Lane hotseat. 
And Lloris thinks his manager had a key role to play in his decision to stay.
 
"I've flourished completely here,” Lloris said.
“I can even say that since the arrival of Pochettino I found new benchmarks. 
“My second season here was complicated, I had kept a certain level of performance but collectively there were too many gaps and it had been against the big teams.

“I had not felt a strong club, but rather an unstable one, with a coaching change in the middle of the season, just the opposite of what I like to see in football. I was actually asking myself questions until Pochettino arrived.”
Lloris will be hoping Spurs can consolidate fourth spot when they face Everton (4pm).
