The goalkeeper strongly suggested there is truth in the transfer speculation as he admitted he has a “desire for something else”.
However, the former France captain hasn’t completely made up his mind yet and will hold talks with Tottenham during the summer.
Lloris told Nice–Matin: “We have reached an important moment, whether it be for the club or me.
“It’s the end of an era. I have a desire for something else. I will carefully study what is possible.
“However, I haven’t forgotten that I have a year left on my contract at Tottenham, and in football, it’s always hard to predict what will happen.
“The most important thing is I find a project where I thrive.”
Lloris was recently linked with a return to boyhood club Nice where he rose to prominence before earning a move to Lyon in 2008.
He recently told BFM Nice Cote d’Azur: “I am very attached to the city of Nice, as you know.

“I can’t speak about concrete things. The club has to finish the season first.
“There are two goalkeepers of high quality, including one that I’m good friends with in Kasper Schmeichel.
“You can understand that it’s difficult to speak about these kinds of subjects. I’ll let fate handle things.”
The 36-year-old moved to Tottenham in 2012 and amassed a whopping 151 clean sheets in 447 appearances.
The Frenchman was named captain by Mauricio Pochettino in 2015 and went on to register the most Premier League appearances in the club’s history.
