The Sun have claimed that Hugo Lloris is the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia ahead of the January transfer window.
Lloris has been relegated to a peripheral role at Tottenham under Ange Postecolgou this season, with the Frenchman now behind both Guglielmo Vicario and Fraser Forster in the pecking order.
Over the last few weeks, some outlets have suggested that the former Spurs captain has emerged as a target for Newcastle United following the injury of Nick Pope (The Mirror).
L’Equipe even suggested recently that the 36-year-old might be tempted to accept a move to St James’ Park, given his current situation at Tottenham.

Saudi clubs circling around Hugo Lloris
The Sun have now named Lloris as one of several Premier League stars that Saudi clubs are circling over ahead of January.
The outlet reveals that one Saudi Pro League side even offered to treble the former Les Blues captain’s current £100,000 salary last summer, but the move ultimately failed.
The report adds that Lloris could decide to jump ship if clubs from the Middle Eastern country make another approach in January.
Spurs Web Opinion
I would be quite surprised if Lloris decides to move to Saudi Arabia as the 36-year-old seems to be the kind of person who would put his family’s needs ahead of his own. I suspect that his preference would be to return to France.
Having said that, the chance to get one final big payday in the Middle East might be quite tempting for the goalkeeper.
