Top 5 young goalkeepers to look out for in the 2016-2017 season

Simone Scuffet
Scuffet will be looking to make his mark in Serie A this upcoming season.

1. Jan Oblak

Oblak
Oblak is coming off a splendid season where he saved a Thomas Muller penalty in the UCL semi-finals to help Atletico through.

The Slovenian International enjoyed a great season with Atletico Madrid, conceding an all-time record low of 18 goals, as his efforts saw him win the Ricardo Zamora trophy for the best goalkeeper at the young age of 23.

He was also the part of the Benfica team that won the treble in the 2013-2014 season, before signing for Atletico Madrid for £12.6 million (€16 million), making him the eighth-most expensive goalkeeper in football history and the most expensive in La Liga’s history.

The towering goalkeeper has produced some incredible performances this season like the ones against Barcelona and Real Madrid, and thus he deservingly tops the list.

With time at his side and great skill and quality at his disposal, he will surely be amongst the very best in the years to come.
