It is surprising to see Loris Karius struggling in his early days at Liverpool after his big move from Mainz last summer but his quality is unquestionable. Still just 23 years of age, the German has what it takes to come back strong in the future.
Karius had a solid reputation in Bundesliga before joining Liverpool in the summer. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp bought him as a first-choice over Simon Mignolet but the youngster had to wait for his chance as he missed the start of the season due to an injury.

Mignolet had a run of poor games which prompted the Liverpool manager to replace him with Karius, but the German lost his place after two bad games. Since then, the German goalkeeper has impressed in the Cup games while Mignolet has been as erratic as ever.
Adjusting to the Premier League takes time for even the best of the players. Even David de Gea – who is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, if not the best – had troubles in his early days at Old Trafford.
Karius, therefore, makes our list despite not enjoying his best season.
