Tottenham Hotspur's Brad Friedel insists that there is no problem between fellow goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and head coach Andre Villas-Boas.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Brad Friedel has accused the media of blowing Hugo Lloris's disenchantment at the club out of all proportions.

Veteran goalkeeper Friedel is currently keeping French international Lloris out of the starting lineup.

That has led to speculation that the recently-signed Lloris is seeking showdown talks with head coach Andre Villas-Boas over where he stands at White Hart Lane.

However, Friedel has insisted that there are no such problems at the club.

"All of the papers love to sensationalise reports by saying there's showdown talks [between Lloris and Villas-boas]," he told talkSPORT. "But it's absolute nonsense. Hugo has come in and is a really nice person. He's a super goalkeeper but we have two other really good goalkeepers in Heurelho Gomes and Carlo Cudicini.

"We have friendly, and healthy, competition for places. Hopefully we will have long runs in all the cup competitions and there's going to be plenty of matches to share around."

Friedel has made 41 appearances for Spurs.
