Hugo Lloris Joins MLS Side Los Angeles FC On Free Transfer
Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has joined Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC on a free transfer from Tottenham Hotspurs.
Lloris was yet to feature for Spurs this season after expressing a desire to leave in the summer.
His last appearance for the North London club came in a 6-1 defeat at Newcastle United back in April, when he suffered a thigh injury.
The 37-year-old former France international joined Tottenham from Olympique Lyon in the summer of 2012 and made 447 appearances in total.
Lloris did not win any trophies during his time with Tottenham despite leading them to two League Cup finals and the 2019 UEFA Champions League final.
Lloris said in a club interview: “This is a personal message to all the Spurs fans. I just wanted to say thank you for all your support since day one.
“It has been a great privilege to be one of yours and one of your captains for many years and it’s the end of the chapter, but you will be always in my hearts. Spurs will always be a special place for me and all my family.
“On behalf of them I would like to say thank you for all memories that we had together, all the emotions we went through and I just want to wish you the best for the next decade because you deserve the best.”
Lloris, who won 145 caps and retired from France duty last year, led Les Bleus to FIFA World Cup glory in 2018.
