Hugo Lloris has vowed to work hard in order to force his way into the Tottenham Hotspur first team.

Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas recently suggested that the goalkeeper, who signed from Lyon for around £8m on deadline day, will be behind veteran Brad Friedel in the pecking order at White Hart Lane.

"I will join Tottenham calmly, discovering a new world, another league," said Lloris. "I have lots of things to prove there. I will have to work hard."

Tottenham resume their Premier League duties following the international break on Sunday when they travel to Reading.
