5 most underrated goalkeepers in Europe

#1 Samir Handanovic (Inter Milan)

Slovenian star Handanovic has been excellent for Inter Milan

Samir Handanovic made 111 saves and kept 15 clean sheets in 36 games for Inter in 2015-16. Despite this, and being widely regarded as one of the best operators in Italy, his name rarely ever pops out when discussing the best in business.

Inter, Slovenia and Italian fans recognise Handanovic's quality, thanks to the 81 caps the Slovenian international has earned, along with a combined 410 appearances for Italian clubs- most notably for Udinese, apart from his current club.

Inter have been criticised in recent years and managers have chopped and changed players around them but the one area that they have left absolutely untouched is the man in goal.

To be a number 1 with so many changes and adapting to suit so many managers is no mean feat and Handanovic does his business so calmly that he often slips under the radar despite many decisive interventions during games.

Handananovic certainly deserves to rated alongside some of the best goalkeepers in Europe at the moment. His determined and focused nature, coupled with the media's obsession with players in England and Spain force down a profile that is perhaps too small for this brilliant player

Handanovic has consistently been an under-performing Inter Milan's best player for the last few years along with Mauro Icardi, both of whom are responsible for Inter not slipping too far down the table.

Handanovic is shockingly under-rated by most who are unaware of his presence at the back. With Inter looking much better this season, Handanovic might have a chance for success at the club after five years of toiled efforts.
