Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has admitted club captain Hugo Lloris has impressed in training but will be leaving the club this summer.
Postecoglou was speaking to the media for the first time – via Football London – after arriving in Australia as part of their pre-season tour.
The Australian coach has selected a very strong squad as he looks to assess his options ahead of the upcoming season.
Several first-team players, however, have been left behind for various reasons.
The likes of Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Bentancur and Bryan Gil all missed out through injury.
However, Hugo Lloris was also left behind as he seeks a move away from the club.
The French World Cup winner has been a constant in the Spurs side for over a decade now.
Ange Postecoglou admitted he’s been impressed with Lloris in training since arriving at Tottenham.
The £13m goalkeeper was given the choice of whether or not he wanted to take part in the tour as he decides on his future.
He’ll be supporting his teammates from the other side of the world as they get ready for another Premier League campaign.
