• French goalkeeper to end 11-and-a-half-year stay at club
• Lloris has been on fringes under Ange Postecoglou

Hugo Lloris is primed to end his storied 11-and-a-half-year Tottenham career with a free transfer to Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer. The French goalkeeper will go with something of a whimper having endured a spell on the fringes at Spurs.

Yet there is no doubt about his status as one of the most important figures in the club’s modern history. Captain for the previous eight seasons, he made 447 appearances in all competitions and has an extensive catalogue of outstanding performances. Lloris’s chief regret, apart from the way he is set to slip out of the exit door without fanfare, will be his failure to win a trophy with Spurs.
