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).
