Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has revealed that he held talks with manager Andre Villas-Boas early this season after a difficult start to life at White Hart Lane.
Lloris joined Spurs this summer for a fee of around £8m but initially struggled to earn a place in the starting XI, with Brad Friedel in fine form.
Restricted to starting games in the Europa League, the France captain has admitted that he had to confront Villas-Boas in an effort to gain a first-team place.
He told reporters: "Yes there were discussions and it couldn't go on.
"But this belongs in the past and all is positive for me here."
The 26-year-old has now firmly established himself as the first-choice keeper at Spurs and has started the club's last 11 Premier League games consecutively.
