Hugo Lloris: 'Kylian Mbappe has great potential'

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has suggested that fellow France international Kylian Mbappe has the potential to make a mark among the top ranks of European football.

Mbappe enjoyed a standout season for AS Monaco during the 2016-17 campaign, having helped the French side claim the Ligue 1 title and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

"I spent some international break with him, he is very talented, for sure he is very young but he has got a real great potential," Lloris told Sky Sports News.

"It's how it goes in football at the moment, a lot of rumours, a lot of speculation and I don't know what will happen but the most important thing for him is to be focused on himself and his pre-season. Let's see what will happen."

Mbappe is thought to be on the radars of both Real Madrid and Manchester City, while Paris Saint-Germain are also rumoured to be keen on the 18-year-old frontman.
