It could be the goalkeepers’ union, but Schwarzer, who made 514 Premier League games, revealed that he is a ‘huge supporter’ of Tottenham’s dethroned number one on BBC Radio 5 Live Sport.
Many anticipated Hugo Lloris to leave this summer, but he stayed there after a number of offers were knocked down or simply did not go through.
This is despite Spurs being open to losing their £12 million signing from 2012 (BBC Sport) and the player himself being willing to leave.
There was even rumors of a possible move to Newcastle United late on transfer deadline day, but nothing came of it, and Lloris is still at Tottenham as Ange Postecoglou’s third-choice keeper.
Summer commitment Guglielmo Vicario is the main goalkeeper – he has been warned – with Fraser Forster playing in the recent EFL Cup defeat to Fulham, while Schwarzer offered his thoughts on Lloris.
“I am a huge Hugo Lloris fan,” Schwarzer stated. “I know he hasn’t had a great time at Spurs the last couple of seasons; he’s made high-profile mistakes and been injured.”
“I think he is still a very good goalkeeper.”
