Tottenham Hotspur star Hugo Lloris is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Hugo Lloris is one of the best goalkeepers on the planet and is a genuinely world-class footballer.
The France international has been on the books of Tottenham Hotspur since 2012 when he made the switch from French club Lyon for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £11.8 million.
The 30-year-old has established himself as a key figure in the Spurs team, who have been superb over the past three or so seasons.
Under manager Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham have gone from being a team who were fighting for a top-four finish in the Premier League to a side who can genuinely challenge for the league title.
Lloris has made it clear that he wants to remain at Spurs, and has explained his decision to do so.
“You know when I signed for Spurs it was time for me to go overseas to discover a new league and to question myself,” Lloris told ESPN FC on why he is not looking to leave Tottenham.
“It was important to make this step and you know since the beginning of my time with Spurs I believed in the project and even more under Mauricio Pochettino because he’s one of the best managers in the world.
“I understand completely his football and we have the same philosophy and we share the same values in football and that’s the most important thing for me and then it’s true we have a young generation, a lot of English players, and they have the potential to get up there and I try to lead them as a captain, as a friend too, as a teammate.
“And then, you know, the club is very competitive too, we show that every season in the Premier League, it’s true that we need to improve in European competition compared to the other clubs in Europe, but listen, step by step we are building something strong at Spurs and it’s a very exciting time to be a Spurs player.”
Tottenham have a young and exciting squad, and they seem to be getting with every passing season.
The North London outfit finished second in the Premier League last season, having ended up third during the 2015-16 campaign.
