Ange Postecoglou has included Hugo Lloris in Tottenham Hotspur’s 25-man squad list for the Premier League this season, making a U-turn after the France international failed to secure a move away this summer.<\/p>\n
This comes after\u00a0French club Nice made a late offer for Lloris after they ripped up Kasper Schmeichel’s contract, while Newcastle also looked to sign the France stopper.<\/p>\n
However, he remained a Tottenham player as the window slammed shut and all eyes were on Postecoglou’s next move.<\/p>\n
Lloris has stayed in North London to fight for his place between the sticks, despite Guglielmo Vicario starting the season as Postecoglou’s No 1 goalkeeper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Australian manager has named Lloris in his Premier League squad, with the goalkeeper unable to depart until at least Janaury.<\/p>\n

He had been stripped of the captaincy earlier in the summer by the new head coach, who previously admitted that it looked unlikely Lloris would be included in his squad.<\/p>\n
Postecoglou has now made a U-turn to allow Lloris to remain at Spurs, with Fraser Forster also part of the squad.<\/p>\n
The Frenchman\u00a0was named as one of 17 non-home-grown players in Tottenham’s squad as Postecoglou now has up to five goalkeepers he can choose from.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, forgotten man Eric Dier was named in the squad as another one of the non-home-grown players.<\/p>\n
Dier has not yet played a minute under Postecoglou this season and has also been heavily linked with a move away.<\/p>\n
However, he remains at Spurs and could be handed the opportunity to prove the new manager wrong this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
