Hugo Lloris

"Hugo Lloris is Tottenham Hotspur's goalkeeper and captain. Born in Nice, France on 26th December 1986, the goalkeeper began his senior playing career with hometown club Nice in 2005, where he made 72 appearances before departing for French champions, Olympique Lyonnais. There he clocked up 146 league appearances, twice winning the Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year award. After joining Tottenham Hotspur in August 2012, he made his debut and kept a clean sheet in a goalless draw against Lazio in the Europa League before making his Premier League bow against Aston Villa that October. He enjoyed an outstanding 2013/14 campaign and was by then, regarded internationally as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He was named vice-captain at the start of the 2014/15 season and went on to captain the team for most of that Premier League campaign, including the 2015 League Cup Final at Wembley. Assuming the captaincy on a permanent basis in 2015/16, he missed the first game of that season at Manchester United after picking up a wrist injury over the summer, but was back in time for the second game at home to Stoke and in total he made 46 appearances throughout the campaign. His 2016/17 season, his fifth at Spurs, got off to a frustrating start as a hamstring injury forced him off in the first half of the opening-day draw at Everton, but he returned to make 34 league starts and keep 15 clean sheets - only missing out on a share of the Premier League's 'Golden Gloves' award by one shutout. He started 36 of Spurs' 38 Premier League games in 2017/18, playing a further seven times in the UEFA Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed some terrific results and performances against Borussia Dortmund and eventual winners Real Madrid. He also surpassed the 200 game mark in the Premier League and made his 250th appearance for Spurs during the closing weeks of that campaign. He began the 2018/19 season - his seventh at the Club - as a World Cup winner with his country, becoming the first Spurs player ever to win the famous trophy when he lifted it on behalf of 'Les Bleus' in Russia that summer, and ended it as a Champions League finalist, playing 11 times during the run to the showpiece fixture in Madrid."
