Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois has admitted he watches Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and 'steals' tips to further his own career.
Courtois won the Premier League title and a League Cup medal during his first playing season at Stamford Bridge.
The Belgium international kept 12 clean sheets in the top flight this term, while Lloris - who hasn't won silverware since swapping Lyon for Spurs in 2012 - kept eight Premier League teams out.
And Courtois told L'equipe: "[Lloris is] a great goalkeeper who saves a lot of points for Tottenham.
"I respect him a lot. I always look at what colleagues are doing and try to steal their good stuff to keep progressing while maintaining our own styles."
Paul Scholes' Team of the Year
Lloris has said in the past he wants to compete in the Champions League and speculation continues to mount over his future after Tottenham again failed to qualify for Europe's premier competition.
The France international is reportedly high on Louis van Gaal's list of summer targets, as a replacement for David de Gea, but Courtois refused to comment on Lloris's future.
"Does Hugo Lloris need to go to Manchester United? It's not for me to say," he added.
