Hugo Lloris clinched his 100th Premier League clean sheet in Tottenham’s 1-0 win over Fulham on Sunday evening, achieving another milestone in his storied career. 

The World Cup winner takes great pride in his latest achievement, crediting his teammates and coaches for helping him reach the 100 clean sheet club.

In a moving tribute to the club captain, a number of Tottenham’s players sprayed the Frenchman with heartwarming sentiment after the victory in west London on Thursday evening.

Lloris has plied his trade with Spurs for nine years, the Frenchman seeing a lot of highs and lows during his time on Hotspur Way. He is truly respected and lauded in the locker room by his teammates, a captain in every sense of the word.

While Lloris has endured numerous inconsistent, even erratic, moments during his time in north London, nobody can diminish what he has accomplished in a lengthy, fruitful career at the top of world football.

Venerated for his pure athletic ability, Lloris is still considered as one of the world’s best shot stoppers. He is always prone to a glaring blunder, but Lloris has been a true ambassador, a consummate professional during his time at Spurs.

Nobody knows what the future has in store for Lloris, as rumours of his prospective departure gain momentum and veracity.

It would be an indescribable injustice to see the 34-year-old leave north London without winning a trophy.

Whether he wins silverware or not, Lloris will invariably go down as one of the best keeper to don a Tottenham Hotspur shirt.
