Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier believes Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is having his worst season in England.
Lloris captained France to their World Cup triumph in 2018 but speaking as a pundit, Le Tissier claimed that the 32-year-old has lost his confidence this campaign.
On Soccer Saturday, the Saints legend said: "
“I have always been a huge fan of his, but I think he has had issues off this pitch as well. But there is certainly more hesitation about him."
In September, Lloris was fined £50,000 and banned from driving for 20 months for being 'completely drunk' behind the wheel of his Porsche, which may have had an effect on the keeper's seventh season at Spurs since arriving from Ligue 1 side Lyon in 2012.

Despite this stat, only three keepers have kept more clean sheets than Lloris in 2018/19 - the World Cup winner has kept 10 clean sheets from a possible 25, most recently at home to Newcastle United on Saturday.

However, Pochettino's men had a difficult end to January as the Lilywhites were knocked out of two cup competitions in four days, but Lloris wasn't between the sticks for either defeat.
Next up for Tottenham is Leicester City's visit to Wembley in the Premier League on Sunday, before hosting the German giants the following Wednesday.
