Jan Oblak has arguably been the best goalkeeper in the world over the past five years or so. The 28-year-old was immense for Atletico Madrid as they won the La Liga title in the 2020-21 season.

Oblak is a physically imposing goalkeeper with quick reflexes and an excellent reading of the game. He dominates the box and his handling and shot-stopping abilities are top-notch as well.

The Slovenian international also commands his backline well and is also comfortable with the ball at his feet. Oblak has earned a lot of praise for his footwork and is also an incredibly consistent presence between the sticks.

He has kept 43 clean sheets in 97 appearances across all competitions for club and country since 2020.

#2 Edouard Mendy (Senegal/Chelsea) - 43 clean sheets

Chelsea signed Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in 2019 after triggering his release clause of €80 million. The Spaniard failed to impress at Stamford Bridge and was so underwhelming in his outings for the side that they were looking for a replacement soon after.

That's how Chelsea ended up signing Edouard Mendy in the summer of 2020. The Senegalese international has been phenomenal for the Blues since his arrival and has firmly established himself as their first-choice goalkeeper.

Mendy is one of the best shot-stoppers in the business right now and is renowned for his concentration and composure. He excels at marshaling his backline and is excellent with his distribution as well. Mendy is also a brave goalkeeper who regularly helps out his defenders by coming out to claim crosses.

In addition to that, Chelsea's defence is quite formidable and they hardly ever let in goals. Mendy has kept a whopping 43 clean sheets in just 79 appearances across all competitions for club and country since 2020.

#1 Ederson Moraes (Brazil/Manchester City) - 47 clean sheets

Manchester City signed Ederson Moraes from Benfica in 2017 and there has been no looking back since. The Brazilian international has proved to be worth every penny of the €40 million they spent on him and more.

He has played a crucial role in Manchester City's three league triumphs in the past four seasons and continues to perform at the highest level. Ederson is a perfect fit for Pep Guardiola's system as he is excellent with the ball at his feet.

He has an astonishing passing range for a goalkeeper and regularly plays some extremely accurate long balls to his teammates.

Ederson is also a dominant physical presence inside the area and has great reflexes as well. He also functions as a sweeper-keeper from time to time. The Brazilian is lauded for his decision making and bravery. He has kept 47 clean sheets in 88 appearances for club and country since 2020.
