LONDON -- Harry Kane and Dele Alli are Tottenham's poster boys and top-scorers but there is perhaps, no-one more important to the club's hopes of turning potential into trophies than its captain Hugo Lloris.
At 30, Lloris, who also captains France, is the elder statesman in a young Tottenham squad and he is typically a measured voice, calming his teammates after a big win or rebuking them when standards slip.
Ahead of a defining week for Tottenham, which starts with Saturday's FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea, and ends with the North London derby, ESPN FC spoke to Lloris at the club's training base during an event with Kumho Tyres, Spurs' official tyre partner, about the title race, the FA Cup, his manager Mauricio Pochettino and his style of leadership.
