Premier League squads have to be submitted by September 13 and Tottenham plan to include Guglielmo Vicario, Fraser Forster and Brandon Austin as their three.

Postecoglou said that he has in having three first-team goalkeepers on his list, even if he’s been very complimentary of Lloris.

It’s clear that this situation was never envisioned by either party.

Tottenham agreed that Lloris could leave the club, but a was not found by the 36-year-old.

Lloris had plenty of options but either had concerns over game time or didn’t align himself with the project presented.

Spurs’ new number one Vicario has been very complimentary of Lloris in recent days, too.

It’s clear that the situation is all very amicable, Lloris will continue to train with the side and his teammates until January when things will be assessed again.

But it’s certainly not ideal from a Spurs point of view to have a player outside of their squad, even if he is a good character to have around.

It’s an unfortunate situation, and one that did seem that it could be avoided.

But nonetheless, Lloris is unlikely to play in a Tottenham shirt ever again.
