Both players have been heavily linked with transfer exits this summer having entered the final year of their contracts.
Lloris, who joined Spurs from Lyon in 2012, has racked 447 appearances in all competitions during his 11-year stay.
In a bombshell interview last month, the 2018 World Cup winner admitted he is seeking a new challenge.
And now Tottenham have announced that he has been left out of their pre-season tour of Australia and Asia in order for him to find a new club.
A club statement read: “Hugo Lloris has been granted permission not to travel in order to explore prospective transfer opportunities.”
Spurs also revealed that Rodrigo Bentancur, Fraser Forster, Bryan Gil, Ryan Sessegnon and Troy Parrott will also miss out through injury, with the players to continue their rehabilitation at Hotspur Way.
Though Spurs have insisted that Kane will be flying out with the rest of his teammates.
The England captain is on Bayern’s radar, with club chairman Daniel Levy meeting Bayern chiefs in London to discuss Kane’s future.

However, there is no suggestion an offer was made and the two clubs are said to be on good terms.
The north Londoners are desperate to keep hold of the 29-year-old, with Tottenham willing to offer him a £400,000-a-week salary to convince him to stay.
New Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has revealed he has been given no assurances over Kane’s future in his press conference earlier this week.
Tottenham’s first game of their Asia-Pacific Tour will be against London rivals West Ham on Tuesday in Australia.
They will then pit their wits against Leicester in Thailand the following Sunday, before facing Singapore’s Lion City Sailors on July 26.
