Top 5 goalkeepers in the world

#3 Thibaut Courtois

Real Madrid Unveil New Signing Thibaut Courtois

An absolute Rolls Royce of a shot-stopper, Thibaut Courtois is another goalkeeper who has stamped his authority as one of the best owing to his exploits in the recently-concluded World Cup.

Having made more saves (27) than any other goalkeeper, the Belgian deservedly won the Golden Glove award at the all-important tournament, an honour that assisted him in securing a move to the Santiago Bernabeu for a reported fee worth £31.5 million.

The 26-year-old is well-known for his positioning and composure, particularly in one-on-one situations where his towering figure enables him to spread himself as wide as possible.
