Hugo Lloris believes Tottenham’s quest for a first trophy under Mauricio Pochettino is becoming more difficult with every passing season.
Spurs have won only one major prize — the 2008 League Cup — since the turn of the century and are desperate to land their first piece of silverware with Pochettino, who took over in May 2014.
Tottenham are second in the Premier League, 10 points behind Chelsea, and have reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, where they face Millwall at White Hart Lane on March 12. They were beaten to the title by Leicester last season and Lloris admitted: “I would love to win a trophy here.
“That is my target but we are in the Premier League, which is the most competitive league in the world. It is becoming harder every season as clubs have the ability to spend a lot of money and buy very good players.”
But Lloris insisted the next step was for the team to gain experience and win a trophy.
The goalkeeper told US broadcaster NBC: “We work so hard and we need to be rewarded.

“Maybe in the past it was good enough for Tottenham just to be a good team but the mentality has changed. We want to win. That is our ambition and motivation.
“You can see that the players have become men and are ready to compete with the best teams in England. The next level is to win a trophy all together.”
