Tottenham HotspurHugo Lloris is climbing up the appearance charts at Spurs - including stepping into our top five in the Premier League.
Our captain and number one moved from 251 to 260 appearances following the return of the Premier League after lockdown.
Hugo is one of only six players to play over 250 times for us in the Premier League, which started in 1992/93. Darren Anderton still tops the list on 299. We have 14 players who have played 200 times or more including Harry Kane, who reached the 200 mark at Sheffield United on 2 July.
