Tottenham bids farewell as Lloris completes move to MLS side LAFC after 11 years with the London club.
Tottenham Hotspur's veteran goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris, has officially sealed a permanent transfer to Major League Soccer (MLS) outfit Los Angeles FC (LAFC). The announcement was made by Tottenham Hotspur, marking the end of Lloris' illustrious 11-year tenure with the Premier League club.
In a poignant farewell, the French goalkeeper bid adieu to the Spurs faithful during their Sunday Premier League clash against Bournemouth at the London Stadium, scheduled for 14:00 GMT. The emotional departure follows Lloris' journey since joining Tottenham from Lyon in 2012, where he ascended to the captaincy under former manager Mauricio Pochettino in 2015.
Despite his significant contributions and amassing 447 appearances during his time at Spurs, Lloris faced a shift in the managerial landscape under Ange Postecoglou. The new manager's preference for Guglielmo Vicario and Fraser Forster relegated the seasoned goalkeeper down the pecking order, prompting this move to MLS.
Hugo Lloris leaves a lasting legacy at Tottenham, ranking seventh on the club's all-time appearance list. As he embarks on a new chapter with LAFC, the football world reflects on the end of an era for the esteemed goalkeeper in English football.
