#24 Alban Lafont

Alban Lafont will be a goalkeeper to watch in the future

Age: 18

Club: Toulouse

Position: Goalkeeper

Nationality: French

French shot-stopper Alban Lafont introduced himself to football in November 2015. On the international stage, he represents France in the U-20 squad.

Often regarded as the successor to Hugo Lloris in the near future, Lafont boasts impressive reflexes and has great ability in neutralizing ling-shots. The 6ft 4in goalkeeper is also well known for his precise distribution of the ball.

Also, Lafont's ability while handling the set-pieces and corners hasn't gone unnoticed in the game. He is the youngest goalkeeper to ply his trade in the Ligue 1.

Gianluigi Buffon and Iker Casillas have had a mouth-watering rivalry in the present age. However, with their retirements coming closer, the soccer fans need not worry at all, as Donnarumma and Lafont look ready enough to take their places in the coming years.
