Tottenham's Hugo Lloris deal '50-50' after Lyon attack on Daniel Levy

Daniel Levy has come under attack from the Lyon president, Jean-Michel Aulas, over his handling of Tottenham's bid to sign Hugo Lloris. Spurs are desperately trying to clinch the signature of the France goalkeeper before Friday night's deadline , but Aulas claims the deal is only "50-50" to go ahead because Tottenham's chairman is constantly trying to change its terms. Aulas, speaking at the Europa League draw in Monaco, said: "We have had people speaking all night with Daniel Levy. He talks a lot and goes back on what we've agreed in writing. The things as they were at 5am were not the same at 10am. "I would put it at 50-50 that Hugo goes to Tottenham. Agreements have not at all been respected. We've done what we can. The negotiation with the Tottenham directors has been the hardest I have ever had to undergo in 25 years." Aulas said the protracted nature of the talks, which began a month and a half ago, have made life difficult for Lloris, who has already agreed personal terms with Tottenham. "Hugo has been troubled by the difficulty. He has agreed personal terms with Tottenham, he remains under that impression, but he's completely undecided about what happens next."
