'It's about moments' - Hugo Lloris addresses potential Harry Kane transfer to 'quiet' MLS as LAFC star tells ex-Tottenham team-mate there is 'less pressure' in America

Lloris, who joined LAFC last year after a 12-year stint at Spurs, has already tasted success in the U.S., winning the MLS Cup in his first season. Reflecting on his own career change, Lloris shared his insights on the calmer life in America compared to the intense pressures faced in European football.

Kane, meanwhile, has been in sensational form with Bayern Munich and has scored 21 goals in an equal number of appearances in the Bundesliga this season. However, it was recently revealed that the England skipper could be available for €65 million (£54m) during the 2026 January transfer window, which has sparked speculation about a potential move across the Atlantic to MLS.

With Bayern Munich sitting comfortably atop the Bundesliga, Lloris believes Kane will be primarily focused on winning trophies in Germany rather than considering a move to MLS at this point.

He said: "Harry is really busy right now with Bayern. I hope that this season will be the one for him by winning trophies. I'm still in touch with some of them (former Tottenham team-mates) and I follow them. It's all about decisions and moments in your career."

Lloris’s transition to MLS has allowed him to experience a different type of football culture - one that is not as saturated with the same levels of scrutiny that define European leagues. While football (or “soccer”) is growing rapidly in America, the media attention and fan pressure are not as overwhelming, which offers athletes a more relaxed environment to enjoy their careers without the constant external pressure.

"Outside football is a life probably with less pressure, it's more quiet. Soccer, like they call it, or football in Europe is bigger. There is obviously more pressure from fans and the media," Lloris added.

"It doesn't mean that there is no pressure, especially when you are an athlete. You put the pressure on yourself because you still want to perform. But it's been a really good experience so far for me and my family on and off the field. Every time that you face a new experience you just try to open your mind. I'm really pleased with the way my family and especially my children adapted to their new life. I was looking for a new experience, discovering another competition and another approach for my job."

While Lloris has already found success in the quieter environment of MLS, Kane’s focus on winning silverware at Bayern Munich remains central to his career. The Bavarians are eight points ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and will look to extend their lead when they face Stuttgart next on Friday evening.
