Ledley King names Hugo Lloris replacement and urges Tottenham fans to give Ange Postecoglou time

Ledley King has urged the Tottenham Hotspur fans to give new head coach Ange Postecoglou the time he needs to transform the club and told football.london that he thinks Harry Kane is the natural heir to Hugo Lloris' captaincy.

Spurs ended weeks of speculation by appointing Celtic boss Postecoglou on Tuesday, the first time they have hired a manager currently at work at another club in almost a decade. The 57-year-old Australian has been catching the eye of various clubs across the Premier League and Europe this season with the free-flowing fast and attractive football being played at the Glasgow side.

Former Tottenham captain King, who was at the launch of the club's new Nike home kit at Alexandra Palace, told football.london that he believes Postecoglou and the north London club are a perfect fit.
