8. Hugo Lloris - Tottenham
For someone who has captained their country to World Cup glory, Hugo Lloris is often overlooked when it comes to discussions about the best goalkeepers in the world. The Frenchman won football’s greatest prize in 2018, ending France’s 20-year wait for the trophy after victory over Croatia in the final. The 32-year-old has also established himself as one of the best keepers in the Premier League, having spent seven years at Tottenham, during which the club have become regulars in the Champions League.
There have often been questions asked about Lloris, given some of the errors he made in the early stages of the Champions League last season and the problems he faced off-field, which included him being charged with drink driving. However, he is a world-class goalkeeper, and he has shown this consistently in the Premier League. His next step is to win trophies at Tottenham, something he has not yet been able to achieve, though that may change now that Jose Mourinho is at the helm.
