Assou-Ekotto, 30, signed for Spurs from Lens in 2006, making 204 appearances and scoring four times for the White Hart Lane club before joining Queens Park Rangers on loan for the 2013-14 season.
The wing-back played 31 times for QPR as he helped Harry Redknapp’s side achieve promotion to the Premier League, but has not played a single league match for Mauricio Pochettino’s side this season.
A statement on the club’s official website read: “We can confirm that Benoit Assou-Ekotto has been released from his contract with the club. We wish Benoit well for the future.”
Assou-Ekotto featured for Cameroon at last summer’s World Cup, though his solitary appearance saw him head-butt teammate Benjamin Moukandjo during the 4-0 group game defeat to Croatia.

What a shame. Benny is the only spurs player I ever liked maybe because he is cameroonian but also he is a very down to earth guy. He always uses the public transport and gets really involved in his community. He has been unfairly treated by the club. I am sure it's not because of what happened at the world cup that caused them to freeze him out of the squad. Anyway I wish him all the luck in the world.
