Ranking the 10 best goalkeepers in the world

#5 Ederson (Manchester City)

Ederson is the perfect goalkeeper for Manchester City

In the era of having a goalkeeper capable of playing the ball out from the back, Ederson is probably the best of the lot. It isn’t an understatement to say that he has the passing range of a midfielder, and he might just be the perfect goalkeeper for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola. His pass to set up Sergio Aguero for his opener against Huddersfield Town a couple of weeks ago was as good an assist as we’ll see anywhere in the Premier League this season.

It isn’t just with the ball at his feet where he has excelled in the Premier League. His shot stopping abilities are up there with the very best, even though he isn’t tested as much as some of the other ‘keepers on this list. He is still only 25, so will get better as he gains more experience, and given that he is already a world-class goalkeeper, he could go on to be one of the greats.
