Guglielmo Vicario has revealed that Hugo Lloris has taken him under his wing and helped him settle into life in the Premier League and at Tottenham.
Vicario certainly has big shoes to fill at Spurs, with Lloris undoubtedly being the best goalkeeper the club has had in the Premier League era.
Despite showing signs of decline over the last couple of years, the former Spurs captain is still a highly respected figure in N17 and will be remembered by the supporters as one of the biggest modern-day legends.
Lloris was expected to leave the club this summer after admitting back in July that he is seeking a new challenge away from the English side (Nice-Matin).
To people’s surprise, the 36-year-old remained put at Tottenham, although he appears unlikely to make an appearance for the Lilywhites again, with Fraser Foster seemingly being Ange Postecoglou’s preferred backup to Vicario.

Hugo Lloris is still lending a hand at Tottenham
The new Spurs number one has now admitted that Lloris has been of great help to him around the training ground.
Vicario told Sky Sports Football Daily: “I have to respect Hugo for his big career here at Spurs, and also with France because he achieved a lot of trophies and reached a lot of finals. So big respect for him, he’s a big guy.
“He helps me a lot during training. It’s good for me because this is my first year abroad so new culture and, a new way to play football. The Premier League is different from Italy so it’s a big pleasure for me to train with him. So many, many thank yous for what he’s doing for me.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Hugo is an absolute gentleman and one would not expect anything different from him. Even though he has now become a peripheral figure at the club, it would still be a sad moment when he eventually exits the club, which one would expect him to do in January.
