Tottenham boss Postecoglou: Lloris will go down as a legend here

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has paid tribute to Hugo Lloris.

Lloris has left Tottenham to sign for LAFC.

After victory over Bournemouth, Postecoglou said of the goalkeeper: "He will definitely go down as a legend at this club, not just because of his appearances, but when you captain a big club like this for so long...

"I said before I don't think my opinion on him is paramount here because my services are fairly miniscule compared to his but in the time I've worked with him he's been an absolute professional and an absolute gentlemen. I can see why he was highly regarded.

"He was great to have in the group, great for Vic to share a dressing room with a World Cup winner and it is a credit to him for the way he has conducted himself. I caught up with him a couple of days ago and wished him all the best. I know he will love the adventure of the MLS and doing something different in your career adds something to it. He goes off with our best wishes and an undeniable impact on this football club."
