The second fastest shot-stopper in the game is Tottenham Hotspur’s skipper, with a pace rating of 64. There are a host of outfield players in the game who must be slower than the Frenchman, but we compare him with former Spurs star, the ‘Robot man’ Peter Crouch.
The now Stoke City striker has a pace rating of 53, which is somewhat justified given his age and the amount of time he has spent at the top level.
Lloris has had a stellar season so far with the Spurs, as the North London side rests on the second spot in the Premier League table. Crouch’s Stoke, on the other hand, are currently placed at ninth on the table, and the towering striker has helped them with four goals and two assists.
