Three biggest Tottenham surprise packages of 2021: Lloris included
Four managers, one cup final defeat, one striker transfer saga, and hopefully the last venture into the Europa Conference League, Tottenham Hotspur fans may not particularly mind seeing the back of 2021.
Spurs appear to go into 2022 in a much better place. With Antonio Conte at the helm, Tottenham appear to have put themselves right in the mix for the top four this season. And there is plenty of excitement about where they could end up under the Italian.
Certainly, there are plenty of players who could be real contenders for the surprise-package of 2022. But as 2021 winds up, here is a look at the three players who have arguably been the biggest revelations of this last 12 months…
Hugo Lloris
It is odd to say with nearly 400 appearances for the club under his belt since his , but Hugo Lloris has stepped up over the last year. The Frenchman has previously come in for criticism in recent seasons. And some may have assumed that he was coming towards the end of his career at the highest level. However, he ended last season in superb form, bailing Tottenham out on a number of occasions. And he is now being linked with a new contract beyond this campaign.
Ben Davies
This choice is very much made with recent form in mind, but Ben Davies has been quietly superb since Conte was appointed. The Welshman has been deployed as a left-sided centre-back in the back three. And the early signs suggest that he is perfectly suited to the role.
Oliver Skipp
As 2021 arrived, Oliver Skipp was midway through a remarkable loan spell at Norwich. He was already well on his way to proving a real point to his parent club. But surely, few could have foreseen just how quickly he would establish himself as a key man back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The reception he received when he came on against Liverpool this month was amazing. And it highlighted just how important he has now become.
