Tottenham announce Hugo Lloris exit as club legend completes move to MLS

The French goalkeeper will move to the MLS for the 2024 season, with options to extend his stay for the 2025 and 2026 campaigns.

Lloris is a modern day Spurs legend having joined the club from Lyon back in 2012.

Since then, the 37-year-old has gone on to make 447 appearances for the club as well as spending nine years as the club's captain.

While Lloris didn't win any silverware in north London, he was part of the side who finished as runners up in the League Cup in 2015 and 2021.

He also led the club out in the Champions League final against Liverpool in 2019, a match that they lost 2-0.
