“Obviously there is (Spurs’ France captain) Hugo Lloris, who I am in touch with a lot anyway. So the discussion was there to maybe do something as a collective. When we come to a decision of something we want to do, for sure we will share it.
“I think it will be important to do it collectively. I feel like it will be a bit more of a stance, a bit more power.
“So there’s no time time-frame on it but obviously the World Cup is coming thick and fast. We want focus to be on that.”
