Hugo Lloris is adamant Tottenham Hotspur's most important activity this summer has been keeping most of their squad together — despite Danny Rose's outburst.

Rose raised eyebrows when he criticised the club's lack of spending and wage system in a controversial newspaper interview.

Tottenham sold right back Kyle Walker to Manchester City for £50million and left back Rose appeared to be angling for something similar.

Yet club captain Lloris insisted: 'The most important thing is to make sure we keep basically the same group of players. 


'There is a real project happening and the board showed that last season by re-signing all of the most important players in the squad.'

Rose was among those who 're-signed' as he put pen to paper on a five-year contract last September. He will miss Tottenham's opener at Newcastle on Sunday because of a knee injury.
