HUGO LLORIS may be preparing for the Euro 2016 final – but that has not stopped him appearing in Tottenham‘s new kit launch.
Spurs today unveiled their strips for the 2016/17 campaign and placed a cardboard cutout of the French goalkeeper in the photoshoot.
Stopper Lloris, 29, is in his native France having just beaten Germany in the semi-finals of the Euros.
Tottenham’s new sportswear includes the classic white home kit, a navy away jersey and a gold third strip.
Perhaps surprisingly, the socks for both home and away kits are strikingly similar.
Both sets are navy with the away pair differing slightly due to a golden trim.
The keeper’s away clothing has changed from yellow to light blue, while the home sportswear remains vibrant orange but now with a dark trim on the arms.

The home kit no longer features a coloured stripe across the body but does now include dark shoulders.
Tottenham became the first Premier League club to unveil their kits on social media, using the Facebook Live feature.
White Hart Lane stars Christian Eriksen, Victor Wanyama, Michel Vorm and Kieran Tripper all showcased the strips online.
Meanwhile, striker Clinton N’Jie has admitted he is working harder than ever ahead of the new season.
The Frenchman, 22, said: “This is the hardest I have been working in my career.
“It’s been going very well, we’ve been training very hard and I think all the guys who are in have been doing well for themselves.
“Training is tough but we need to do this because we want to have a great season. You saw last season that we were one of the best and fittest teams in the Premier League so I think this is the time to work harder to enable us to perform at the top level.
“Like I said, the sessions are really tough but we don’t complain because we will see the results in the end and that’s important.”
