#3. Alban Lafont (ACF Fiorentina)
Lafont is the youngest ever goalkeeper to play in the Ligue 1 when he made his debut for Toulouse at the age of 16. A summer move to Fiorentina for €7m represented the next stage for the wonderkid. He's now at a club with more defensive stability than Toulouse, who have been on the decline in recent years, which made it harder to assess his true talent level.
Fiorentina boast the best defense in the league after the top three. At 19, Lafont makes quality decisions and has a good positional sense. He has a great career ahead of him and can see himself as the future of French goalkeeping.
