Wait your turn, Hugo! backs Friedel to continue as Spurs' No 1
The Frenchman was an £12million arrival on deadline day but is already frustrated at playing second fiddle to Brad Friedel.
And now left back Assou-Ekotto has weighed into the debate by backing the American to retain his spot.
It wont be easy for him because there is competition,' he told French radio station RMC.
No 1 keeper in the French team or not, he will have to fight to get the position in the team.
We currently have a keeper that doesnt make any mistakes, who is very well-known in Great Britain.
To start I believe Lloris will be No 2. If our keeper doesnt make any mistakes there is no reason to change.
Assou-Ekotto's response comes after Lloris demanded showdown talks with manager Andre Villas-Boas when he returns from international duty.
'When I join up with the national team, I concentrate uniquely and well see about my personal situation when I go back,' he said.
'Obviously it is not nice if the coach says he will pick someone else for the first team, but we can see what happens.
'For now, I have to put the situation to one side as France have important matches and I cannot worry about what might happen at my club.'
