The Spurs boss paid tribute to the World Cup winner in his press conference on Friday, saying: “I have only been here a couple of months but Hugo has been excellent throughout the whole process.

“There is no doubt he has had an outstanding career and contribution to this football club. He has been the captain for quite a long time and been very professional.”
