Spurs and LAFC in talks over Hugo Lloris transfer - source

LAFC are in advanced talks to sign Tottenhamgoalkeeper Hugo Lloris, a source has told ESPN.

The 37-year-old is in the final year of his Spurs contract and has been frozen out by head coach Ange Postecoglou this season having not played a single minute of the campaign.

The source added that precise terms are yet to be agreed but at this stage it looks increasingly unlikely that there will be a transfer fee involved.

Spurs signed Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli for £17.2 million ($21.9m) in June and the Italyinternational quickly established himself as Postecoglou's first-choice goalkeeper.


Lloris was free to leave in the summer but turned down approaches from Lazio, Nice and clubs in the Saudi Pro League.

The former France goalkeeper joined Spurs from Lyon in 2012 and, after a short battle for a starting spot in the team with incumbent Brad Friedel, made himself the No. 1 at the north London club.

Lloris made more than 400 appearances for Spurs, being named captain in 2015-16 by then-head coach Mauricio Pochettino before being replaced by Son Heung-Min shortly after Postecoglou took charge.

He lifted the World Cup as captain of France in 2018 before retiring from international football in January 2023 having become his country's record appearance-maker with 145 caps.

Wonder where this leaves Crepeau?  I've read that his contract is up this off-season.  If available, I wouldn't mind seeing him come back to Vancouver.

Ryan Gauld re-signed by the Caps yesterday! At least they're spending some money on one player.

 

That's great news.....losing RG would have been like losing Camillo all over again.....
