Defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto has been released from his contract by Tottenham Hotspur.

The Cameroon left-back spent last season on loan at QPR but has been unable to break into the Spurs side during this campaign.

The 30-year-old made more than 150 appearances for Tottenham but the Premier League club have allowed him to leave as he does not fit into Mauricio Pochettino's plan.
