The only goalkeeper on this list, Alex Meret has been outstanding for SPAL throughout the season. Known for having incredible reflexes, his impressive string of performances for the Biancazzurri has even landed him a starting position in the Italian U21 national side.

A product of the highly coveted Udinese Football Academy, the 21-year old keeper played a massive role in SPAL's promotion to Serie A last season, and he has continued being great in Italy's top flight as well.

Meret has an average saves-per-game ratio of 3.38 and a claim success rate of 92%, greater than that of both David De Gea, Manchester United's keystone in defense, and Allison Becker, who is widely considered the best goalkeeper in the Serie A.

Juventus have been looking for a young goalkeeper for a while now, to compete with Wojciech Szczęsny in the coming seasons. This is in preparation for the impending retirement of 40-year old captain, Gianluigi Buffon.

According to Calciomercato, they have found their man in Meret and if the story in Bleacher Report is to be believed, the Turin club will attempt to purchase the young goalie for a fee in excess of £15 million.
