Journalist shares Hugo Lloris exit update
The Frenchman could soon depart.
Tottenham Hotspur legend Hugo Lloris could soon be departing the club after Harry Kane with journalist Fabrice Hawkins sharing a transfer update.
Who is leaving Spurs this summer?
The most high-profile and devastating departure by some way is Kane’s transfer to Bayern Munich, and the star striker will be near-impossible to replace.
Kane parted company with Spurs after 12 years with the north Londoners, making his debut all the way back in the summer of 2011 against Hearts, leaving supporters with a bitter taste in their mouthes.
The 30-year-old had entered the final year of his Tottenham contract and could’ve left for free next summer, prompting Spurs to make the big decision of selling to Bayern for around €100 million (£86m) plus an extra €20 million (£17.2m) in possible add-ons
Midfielder Harry Winks also left Spurs for Leicester City earlier in the window, joining winger Lucas Moura out the door after the Brazilian’s contract expired in June.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is also rumoured to be closing in on a move to Ateltico, while Lloris has candidly admitted that this summer could be the end of an era for him at Tottenham.
“We have reached an important moment, whether it be for the club or me,” said Lloris to Nice-Matin.
“It’s the end of an era. I have a desire for something else. I will carefully study what is possible. However, I haven’t forgotten that I have a year left on my contract at Tottenham, and in football, it’s always hard to predict what will happen.”

Boris Becker welcomes record-setting Harry Kane ‘to the best football club’ Bayern Munich
Former tennis player Boris Becker wished English football striker Harry Kane a warm welcome to Bayern Munich Football Club.
FC Bayern signed Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur on August 12. The 30-year-old has agreed terms with the German record champions until 30 June 2027 and will wear the No. 9 shirt for the Munich club.
Kane had spent his entire professional career as a Tottenham Hotspur player, occasionally going on loans in England. He scored 213 Premier League goals and had 46 assists in 320 appearances before moving to Germany.
Germany’s own Boris Becker took to social media to comment on what might be the biggest football transfer of the season.
A reported fee for Kane could hit more than $127 million, the highest transfer fee ever paid by a Bundesliga club. The previous record was the $87 million paid by Bayern for defender Lucas Hernandez from Atletico Madrid in 2019.
The Englishman leaves Spurs as the second-highest Premier League scorer with 213 goals, 47 behind the legendary Alan Shearer.
This isn’t the first time that seven-time Grand Slam champion Boris Becker has publicly shown support for his favorite club Bayern Munich. In an interview in 2009, the German said:
“I am a big fan of Bayern and have been for years. I’ve actually been on the advisory board for ten years. Every German kid, before they walk and before they can talk, they love their football. It is a similar story for me. Before I was a tennis player I was a football player and supporter,” Becker said at the time.
