Hugo Lloris

Tottenham’s goalkeeper has been impressively consistent this season, following on from a strong second half of 2019/20.

A few people feared for the £12 million Frenchman (BBC Sport) after seeing the state of his arm against Brighton last term, but he’s recovered well and been very good between the sticks for Spurs since coming back.

He might have done better for Crystal Palace’s equaliser recently, but that aside, he really has been one of Spurs’ best performers, and he’s gone fairly under the radar for it too.

Eric Dier

Dier’s level has just decreased slightly over the past couple of weeks, but he’s largely been very solid in 2020/21.

He’s been the man Jose Mourinho has used the most at centre-half, which tells its own story.

The England international sometimes gets a rough ride from neturals, but he’s quietly been good for Tottenham this season.

Heung-min Son and Harry Kane have obviously gotten a lot of the plaudits, but Spurs have one of the best defensive records in the Premier League and he’s been a key part of that.

Sergio Reguilon

Reguilon has been a superb signing for Spurs.

The Spaniard is fantastic to watch, and can usually be relied upon to play well personally, even if the team aren’t doing so well as a collective.

As mentioned previously, Son and Kane have grabbed a lot of the headlines so far in 2020/21, but the attacking threat that Reguilon brings hasn’t really been fully acknowledged yet, at least by neutrals.

He’s already contributed three assists, and one gets the feeling there could be many more in store with his eye for a cross.
