Former France international Hugo Lloris (37) has left Tottenham Hotspur to seal a move to MLS franchise Los Angeles FC, both clubs have confirmed.
The OGC Nice youth product has signed a one-year contract with the Californian team with options for 2025 and 2026. The 2018 World Cup winner with France leaves Tottenham after playing 447 games with the North London side. Lloris terminated his contract with Spurs on Friday, paving the way for his move to Los Angeles FC.

The 37-year-old goalkeeper has not played a single minute for Spurs since an abysmal 6-1 away defeat at Newcastle United in April. Tottenham signed Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli as a long-term replacement for Lloris. The 37-year-old called time on his international career last year, in the aftermath of France’s defeat in the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina, his 145th and final cap with Les Bleus.
‘Arguably the most successful goalkeeper of his generation’
“Hugo is arguably the most successful goalkeeper of his generation and a proven winner“, said LAFC Co-President & General Manager John Thorrington. “We are incredibly excited that Hugo has chosen LAFC for the next phase of his illustrious career (…) I would like to thank Tottenham for their collaboration, and I join all of Los Angeles in extending a warm welcome to Hugo, his wife Marine, and their three children to LAFC.”
