"After four incredible seasons at Tottenham, my time has come to an end," he said.
"I'd like to thank all the staff, players and fans for making my time so enjoyable and helping me along the journey. Tottenham will always be engraved in my heart. Thank you."
Who has reacted to Will Lankshear's farewell?
Mikey Moore is another facing serious speculation around his immediate future at Spurs, but for different reasons.

Tottenham plans for Mikey Moore revealed as media called out
Jamie Donley , Destiny Udogie and Dominic Solanke also wished the striker well in the comments.
Past Spurs players, like Brennan Johnson also commented their own congratulations.
It will be interesting to see what angle Tottenham go down now, with fans not likely accepting a future when up-and-coming stars are sold regularly.
For £20m, it was a no-brainer for Lankshear to move on, though, with all eyes on if he can fire Middlesbrough back to the Premier League as their main man.
