“It’s the end of an era.” – Tottenham star confirms he wants to leave the club

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris has admitted that he wants to leave the club this summer calling it the “end of an era”.

Multiple reports in the latter stages of the season claimed that this season would be Frenchman’s last with the club looking to let him go.

The veteran goalkeeper has been a loyal servant, spending an impressive 11 years at the club.

While Lloris still has a year left on his contract, it is widely anticipated, as reported by L’Équipe last month, that the former France captain will depart from Tottenham this summer.

And now he has come out and publicly admitted his desire to leave the club for other things.

He told French outlet Nice Matin (via 90min):

“We are coming to an important moment, for the club or for me.”

“It’s the end of an era. I have desires for other things.

“I will ask myself to study what is possible, but I don’t forget that I still have one year left on my contract with Tottenham and that, in football, it is always difficult to predict what will happen. What is essential at the moment is to recover well from my injury. I’m on holiday but I continue to talk and do my training.

“My goal is to recover in July, then we’ll see what the future holds for me.”

He has been linked with Saudi club Al-Hilal who have reportedly offered him a lucrative package that will see him triple his current salary at Spurs.

He has also been linked with a dream return to his hometown Nice, where it all began for him. In a recent interview he refused to rule out a move to Nice in the summer.
