5 sweeper-keepers Manchester City should turn to in January 2017

#2 Mattia Perin

I'll admit, he does look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo

If it wasn’t for the legendary Gianluigi Buffon, we’d all have heard of Mattia Perin. The 24-year-old Italian is regarded as one of the best keeper prospects the country has seen since the Juventus man.

And Perin is the only keeper on this list who has the kind of pace and acceleration you’d expect from a winger in your team. He’s really quick off his line and has the confidence – and audacity – to run with it into the midfield more often that you’d expect.

Perin plays for Serie A side Genoa and has hinted in the past that he’d be willing to move if it helped his chances of getting into the Italian national team. He’s definitely one of the most gifted goalkeepers out there today. Expect him to make a move to a huge club soon enough.
