Oblak definitely is amongst the top two goalkeepers in the world right now

Jan Oblak is the perfect replacement for Courtois. He is young, accomplished and consistent.

Ironically, Atletico Madrid signed him to replace Courtois in 2014. Since his move to the club, Oblak is been up there with some of the best goalkeepers in the world.

He is undoubtedly one of the stars at Atletico Madrid. Last year, in 34 appearances, he collected 21 clean sheets to his name. Two crucial statistics that embody his efficiency between the posts are:

Avg. saves per game-2.41

Avg. goals per save- 4.56

Just 25 years old, the Slovenian GK has the world at his feet. Atletico Madrid value his services and have made it clear that they do not want to let him go.

It would take a gigantic bid of around £75-£80 million to get the La Liga club to even consider selling their star player. However, earlier in the transfer window, Atletico signed an able backup for Oblak in Betis keeper, Antonia Adan.

That move might open the door slightly for Chelsea to attempt a swoop for the accomplished goalkeeper.
