With lightning reflexes and great decision making, Lloris is commendable both as a goalkeeper as well as a captain. Being one of the best goalkeepers of the Premier League, Hugo is largely known for his explosiveness and a very great agility. Beginning with Tottenham Hotspur, his performances for the club earned him the right to be named as the next big goalie at the North-London outfit after Brad Friedel.

Very much regarded as the sweeper-keeper by the media, Lloris conceded 26 goals in the whole 2016-17 Premier League season and has racked up the Premier League Milestone of 200 appearances.

Over the years many top clubs have eyed Hugo as their future number 1 but the Frenchman's loyalty towards the London club is commendable. Lloris has been instrumental in Tottenham's continuous rise to the top half of the Premier League. The goalie has been impressive between the sticks in the UEFA champions league as well.

The Spurs keeper helped France in winning the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia as his brilliant saves contributed to Les Bleus success.
