The Slovenian has been at the top of his game for the past few years and has been a rock for Atletico Madrid between the posts.

Having joined in 2014 as the most expensive goalkeeper in the Spanish League ever, Oblak has been worth every penny so far. In the current season as well, the Slovenian has saved 2.4 shots per game and has kept 10 clean sheets in 20 games.

Blessed with cat-like reflexes, Oblak has made a living saving close range shots and is an extremely difficult proposition to get past. In addition, his concentration levels are astounding and he rarely commits a silly mistake.

The only aspect where the Slovenian can improve is arguably his distribution. Yet, with the goalie only 26 years old, he has sufficient time to iron out that flaw too.

Oblak was signed for well below 20 million in 2014. However, his value has sky-rocketed since then and he can certainly consider himself as one of the ace goalkeepers on the planet currently.

Thus, he rounds off the top three of our list.
