Lloris Son Heung-min
Only Son Heung-min remains in the Best Eleven, which reached the final of the 2018-2019 European Football League (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) at Tottenham Hotspur in the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL).
Sports media ‘Fox Sports’ reported on the 30th (Korean time), “Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is reportedly planning to leave Tottenham, where he spent 11 years, and join Los Angeles FC (LA FC).”
Lloris is like an icon for Tottenham. Since leaving Olympique Lyonnais (France) and joining Tottenham in 2012, he has been the starting goalkeeper.
He appeared in 447 games over 11 seasons, making him the 8th player with the most appearances in Tottenham club history.
However, Lloris, who was born in 1986 and is in his late 30s, completely lost his place in the team this season. The captaincy was given up to Son Heung-min, and the starting position was taken away by Guglielmo Vicario. Accordingly, Lloris is scheduled to head to LA FC to play as a starting player.
Although he did not win a single trophy at Tottenham, he had the honor of reaching the UCL final for the first time in the club’s history in the 2018-2019 season. At that time, they faced Liverpool (England) in the final, losing 0-2 and finishing in second place.
Of the players who started at that time, only Son Heung-min and Lloris remained in Tottenham until this season. However, with Lloris leaving Tottenham soon, Son Heung-min will become the only player to have played in a UCL final for Tottenham.
Son Heung-min is leading the team as captain in place of Lloris this season. In addition to his unique leadership, he has scored 11 goals and 5 assists in 19 league games.
Tottenham will play the 20th round of the 2023-2024 EPL against Bournemouth at 11 p.m. on the 31st.
