Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has been voted the best French player of 2012 by the country’s Federation of National Associations of Blues Supporters (FANS).
The France number 1 received the majority of the votes and picked up his trophy last night after Les Bleus played Germany in a friendly.
The match ended 2-1 to Germany, but Lloris will at least have one positive memory of the occasion as he received a vote of confidence from the country’s supporters.
Lloris moved away from his homeland earlier this season, leaving to play in England with Tottenham Hotspur.
It took time for the shot-stopper to establish himself as Spurs’ number 1, but now he is firmly entrenched between the sticks at White Hart Lane.
