After starring in Tottenham's title charge last season, captain Lloris has been influential again this term, keeping his fourth league clean sheet of 2016-2017 in the goalless draw at Bournemouth.

Tottenham, the only undefeated team remaining in England's top flight, boasts the Premier League's best defensive record with just four goals conceded in nine matches thanks to Lloris as it mounts another challenge after losing out to Leicester City in May.

Dier heaped praise on the France international, saying: "For me he is the best keeper in the league.

"He is very under-rated. I don't know why that is, maybe it is because he is a very low-key guy. He is fantastic though. He is only interested in playing football.

"It is not just now. Last season he made fantastic saves as well. Now we are seeing it this season as well.

"He does everything. When you are playing against quick strikers, like Bournemouth have, he is not just good between the posts, he is also a sweeper keeper, coming out off his line.

"I don't think there is anyone as good as him, to be honest, but that is my opinion and football is a game of opinions."
