Ranking the 10 best goalkeepers in the world

#4 Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid)

Courtois has made his dream move to Real Madrid this summer

Courtois has been a man who hasn’t been able to keep out of the headlines in recent weeks. Firstly, he won the Golden Glove award for best goalkeeper at the World Cup in Russia, before forcing through a move away from Chelsea to join Real Madrid in a deal worth £35 million. Since then, he has been making constant digs at Chelsea in the press, and any respect Blues fans have for him isn’t there anymore.

There are no doubts about his ability though, and he will no doubt prove to be an excellent signing for Real. If there is one thing that Courtois is good at, it’s dealing with balls into the box. He has the height to reach balls into the box, but he is maybe the only ‘keeper in the world with the confidence to catch crosses. He takes the pressure off his defence so well, and that will be a vital addition for Real.
