Lloris, 37, joined Spurs from Lyon in an £11million transfer in the summer of 2012.

He went on to become club captain in 2015, and skippered France to World Cup glory three years later.

Tottenham’s long-term No1 made 444 appearances for the North Londoners.

But he has not featured at all since their 6-1 defeat at Newcastle in April.

According to the Mail, Lloris is close to ending his 11-year association with Spurs by signing for LAFC.

They claim that negotiations are in their final stages for Lloris, who is in the final year of his Tottenham contract, to leave North London.

New boss Postecoglou moved quickly to recruit a new No1, signing Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli.
