Can we say "He lent to me lots of clothes."?

Someone thinks that "He lent to me lots of clothes." is grammatically incorrect and suggests "to" should be cut out. Do you think so?

Someone is right.

wangqh2696122"to" should be cut out. Do you think so?
Yes. "to" should be left out.

But this is OK: He lent lots of clothes to me.
