Absent from the field since last April, Hugo Lloris has finished his adventure with Tottenham.

Under the orders of Ange Postecoglou this season, Hugo Lloris has not played a single official minute with Tottenham. Since the arrival at Spurs of the Italian Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli, the former captain of the Blues has lost his place and his rank. To the point of thinking for a while about the end of his career. His London contract expiring next June, the person concerned is ultimately not decided to hang up his boots, wanting to offer himself a final challenge.

This summer, Saudi Arabia or Italy (Roma, Lazio, Inter) were mentioned to host the 2018 world champion, and this winter Newcastle was also able to act as a candidate while the number one goalkeeper of the Magpies, Nick Pope, seriously injured his shoulder. Yes, but there you have it, if there is a tangible lead for Hugo Lloris now, it is to the United States that it leads the former Niçois and Lyonnais, who has been playing for Tottenham since 2012 – i.e. 444 matches played.

Tottenham gave the green light

The Italian journalist specializing in the transfer window Fabrizio Romano assures that Tottenham is open to a departure of its French goalkeeper in the coming days, heading to Los Angeles. LAFC has officially opened negotiations and would only have to come to a contractual agreement with the record holder for capes worn in the French team (145). A potentially exciting challenge for Hugo Lloris who at 37 years old would join one of the most competitive franchises in MLS, a team finalist in the championship this season with players such as Giorgio Chiellini and Denis Bouanga in its ranks.
