Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has responded when asked if Hugo Lloris will be leaving Spurs in the coming weeks.

The Tottenham boss, speaking to football.london, appear to hint that there could be some movement on that front in the coming days.

Over the last couple of days, Lloris has been linked with move away from Spurs, with MLS club Los Angeles FC said to be in talks with him.

Indeed, according to the Daily Mail, talks between the £120,000-a-week stopper (Salarysport) and LAFC are said to be in their final stages.

Should the move get over the line, Tottenham would be bidding farewell to their longest-serving player, a club legend with over 400 Lilywhites appearances under his belt.

At the same time, Lloris has found himself in limbo over the past four months. He declared his intention to leave in summer, but failed to seal a move in the last transfer window.

As a result, the 2018 World Cup winner has stayed put at Tottenham, but the team has since moved on, and he hasn’t played a single game since the summer window closed.

Football.london asked Postecoglou about the Lloris situation, and he replied: “I’m not across that.

“Obviously there’s stuff happening but I’ve been focused on the game. But I’m sure we’ll hear something in the next couple of days.”

While Postecoglou didn’t confirm outright that Lloris is leaving in January, his response seemed to hint at a development on that front.

It’ll be a sad day when Lloris leaves, considering all he has done for the club. Indeed, he’s very much in the Harry Kane mould in terms of being a modern-day N17 legend.

Admittedly, it’s a shame that things panned out the way they did over the past few months. We’re now in a position where a club legend has been frozen out despite being perfectly capable of playing.

However, these last few months will be forgotten when he does eventually leave. The club and fans will pay tribute to the previous 11 years, when he became a Tottenham stalwart and took them close to glory on multiple occasions.
