Hugo Lloris joined Tottenham on 31^st August 2012 for €10 million and €5 million variable. He was already the captain of France by then. However, he played second fiddle to Brad Friedel. He soon usurped him to the spot though and went on to become permanent captain by the summer of 2015.

Lloris has proved to be a very capable captain and keeper under Mauricio Pochettino. Together they have taken a mid-table team and converted them to a top-4 side who have become the perennial dark horses in the Premier League title challenge.

Lloris may not have won a trophy with Spurs. However, he is a phenomenal leader who inspires men around him through his performances. A Euro runner up medal and World Cup trophy is testament to his leadership. However, the French shot stopper would like to end his career with a trophy at London. With the way they have been performing though, a medal with his club may come sooner than later.
