Germany have a reputation of producing some of the best keepers overs the years and have some excellent young keepers vying for a spot in the national team. Timo Horn is certainly one of those bright young keepers emerging in German football.
The 23-year-old has been at Koln throughout his career and has already represented the first-team in 154 occasions till date. Capped 40 times for different youth setups of the German national team and the Olympic team, Horn will certainly be a contender to take the gloves of Manuel Neuer when the German goalkeeper retires from international football, but he will face stiff competition from the likes of Bernd Leno, Marc-André ter Stegen, Loris Karius and Kevin Trapp.

Like most German keepers, Horn is a sweeper keeper who likes to come off his line whenever an opportunity presents itself. The 23-year-old has a passing accuracy of 73% this season, which is an excellent figure for a keeper.

Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.
Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.
Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
