Hugo Lloris

French footballer and goalkeeper who captained France to World Cup victory in 2018 and became one of the most capped players in French history

Hugo Lloris lifted the World Cup as France's captain in Moscow in 2018, won the Nations League in 2021, and appeared 145 times for his country — more than any other French goalkeeper — making him the most decorated captain in the history of the French national team alongside Didier Deschamps. Lyon developed him into one of Ligue 1's finest goalkeepers before Tottenham paid £12 million in 2012. His eleven Tottenham seasons produced the 2019 Champions League Final — losing to Liverpool. He won the World Cup with France in 2018 as captain — lifting the trophy in Moscow. He won the Nations League in 2021. He represented France 145 times — the most by any French goalkeeper and the second-most of any French player. His combination of reflexes, distribution and leadership made him one of the Premier League's most consistent goalkeepers across a decade. He was named UEFA European Championship team of the tournament multiple times. He moved to LA Galaxy in 2023 after his Spurs contract expired. He drove under the influence in London in 2019 — an incident that damaged his public profile momentarily but did not define his career. He is the most decorated captain in France's history alongside Didier Deschamps.
