"Newcastle made an offer to Tottenham for Hugo Lloris in the final hours of the transfer period in England, but the French goalkeeper decided to turn down the Magpies, L'Équipe reports.
"Newcastle were hoping to use Lloris to fill the number two position after Nick Pope, but Hugo preferred to stay in London, where he was also given the role of backup.
Earlier, the former France international turned down Lazio for the same reason - Lloris hoped to get guarantees that he would have stable playing practice in the new team.
