Hugo Lloris netted a £2million golden handshake by Daniel Levy for the remainder of his contract

[mawspurs]

Hugo Lloris netted a golden handshake of up to £2million when he departed Tottenham for the MLS last month. Having joined Tottenham in 2012, goalkeeper Lloris became an iconic figure at Spurs - making well over 400 appearances for the north London club.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, in addition to giving the France legend a free transfer ahead of his switch to Los Angeles FC, negotiated a settlement figure with Lloris for the remaining six months of the shot-stopper’s £100,000-per-week contract that was due to expire in June.

So instead of paying him the 2.4 million the rest of his contract would have entailed he left with a 2m settlement.

Damn that levy squandering all our money

Good. The club saved money. Hugo got his move. And we treated an honourable servant of the club with decency and respect.

Not sure "netted" is the most appropriate verb here.

Well deserved. Top top keeper, shame he couldn't kick, but a worldie shot stopper.
