One of the greatest goaltenders of our generation is coming to North America.
Longtime Tottenham Hotspur tender Hugo Lloris has verbally agreed to a permanent transfer to MLS’ Los Angeles FC, soccer insider Fabrizo Romano reported Friday.
Lloris’ transfer sees the 36-year-old veteran move across the pond to join the Western Conference Champions LAFC, who have made successive appearances in the MLS Finals.
The transfer will reportedly see Lloris sign a one-year contract with the MLS club that has an option to extend past the 2024 season.
The French keeper was a beloved player for Tottenham, as he spent the past 11 years with the club. The former Tottenham captain made 447 appearances for his club, finishing within the top 10 most appearances in club history.
His last appearance for Tottenham came in April 2023, before surrendering his captaincy to Heung-min Son in August. He continued to train with the club despite not being dressed for matchdays.
Lloris recently retired from International play, where he served as France’s most-capped player and captain, with 145 appearances. He led France two successive World Cup Finals, garnering a win in 2018.
