#2 Ederson (Manchester City)

Ederson is quite extraordinary with the ball at his feet

As mentioned earlier on in the article, Pep Guardiola is insistent on his goalkeepers being capable with their feet. In world football, no ‘keeper’s distribution is as good as Ederson’s. He is confident to take the ball in tight areas and play simple, but he can do so much more than that.

He has the ability to hit the long passes as well and proved that with his 70-yard defence-splitting pass against Huddersfield Town earlier this season, setting up Sergio Aguero to score. His passing range is outrageous.

He cost City £35 million at the start of last season, which for a short time made him the most expensive goalkeeper in English football, but he has repaid that faith over the last year and was a vital part of City’s run to the Premier League title last season. He is also a very good shot stopper and has kept 21 clean sheets in his 44 Premier League games to date.
