Pochettino determined to build around Lloris

Mauricio Pochettino insists that he wants to mold his
Tottenham team around "world-class" goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

The France captain has been in superb form this term,
conceding just 10 Premier League goals from 15 games, and he
was at his best once again to keep out a point-blank header
from Jonas Olsson as Tottenham earned a 1-1 draw at West
Brom on Saturday.

And despite Lloris being heavily linked with a move away from
White Hart Lane in recent transfer windows, Pochettino is
determined to keep hold of the shot-stopper, claiming he is key
to building a squad capable of challenging at the highest level.

"I can say he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. We are
lucky he is at Tottenham with us," said the Argentine manager.

"There are always rumours about the players, but we want to
keep him for the future and to challenge for trophies, not only for
the present.

"We want to build the next squad and the future with him. He is
very happy with us."
