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

Lloris has been heavily linked to a move away from Spurs in recent transfer windows with him wanting to play in the Champions League.

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

"There are always rumors 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."
