Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that Hugo Lloris is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

The Frenchman has won praise for his displays at the club and made an outstanding save to deny Per Mertesacker during Saturday's 1-1 draw against North London rivals Arsenal.

"I think he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, not just the Premier League. He is unbelievable," The Mirror quotes Pochettino as saying.

"[Manuel] Neuer, [Wojciech] Szczesny... I think there's a lot of good keepers. But Lloris is one of them.

"It was an amazing save that he made from Mertesacker. From my position [on the touchline] it was an unbelievable save. On TV it looks even better."

Lloris is in his third season at Spurs, having joined the club in 2012 from Lyon.
