Leeds United coach Neil Sullivan speaks highly of Tottenham Hotspur star Hugo Lloris, who has established himself as a key player in Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Lloris is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and is a key figure in the current Tottenham team.
The France international custodian has been on the books of Spurs since the summer of 2012 when he joined from French club Lyon for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £11.8 million.
The 30-year-old has since developed into one of the best goalkeepers on the planet and is a world-class player.
Championnship club Leeds academy goalkeeping coach Sullivan was on the books of Spurs as a player from 2000 until 2003, and the 47-year-old has spoken highly of the former Nice and Lyon star.
“Hugo is unbelievable and the fact that he’s the skipper shows that he’s well-respected in the dressing room,” Sullivan told Tottenham’s official website.
“He’s obviously got a big influence around the place but the thing is, he backs it up with his performances as well. He doesn’t just take the armband and think that’s enough, he leads by example.”
“He seems calm but very, very quick, he’s got a great spring, he looks organised and his distribution is phenomenal,” added Sullivan.
“He’s agile and his shot-stopping is unbelievable. He’s got everything you want from a modern-day goalkeeper. I believe he’s influential and respected on and off the pitch.”
Tottenham finished second in the Premier League table last season and will be aiming to win the league title this campaign.
Spurs, though, have not made a strong start to the 2017-18 campaign, and have managed to pick up just four points from three matches.
