The 10 best goalkeepers in world soccer right now

A key figure in Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea revolution, Edouard Mendy has made a huge impact at Stamford Bridge since his arrival from Rennes in September.

He kept 16 clean sheets in 31 Premier League games during his debut campaign in the Premier League, helping the Blues to a top four finish.

The Senegalese shot stopper also kept nine clean sheets in the Champions League as Chelsea won Europe's most prestigious club competition, beating favorites Manchester City in the final.

Despite a difficult last season for Liverpool, Alisson still remains one of the top goalkeepers in the world.

The Brazilian has, for the most part, been his reliable self in the net, often rescuing the Reds' injury-stricken and less than reliable defence from calamity.

As a bonus, he's also the only goalkeeper in Europe's top five leagues this season to score a goal. He headed home a dramatic injury time winner against West Bromwich Albion in May.

A maverick, Manuel Neuer's style is unorthodox, at times even dangerous.

Despite him regularly flying out of his box to clear the ball and tackle opponents, the German still boasts some of the most impressive statistics between the sticks in world soccer.

In January, the 35-year-old recorded his 197th clean sheet in 423 Bundesliga games to set a new league record and surpass Germany legend Oliver Kahn in the all-time leaderboard.

Neuer will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest goalies in soccer history.

Gianluigi Donnaruma, Milan's prodigal son, is set to leave the San Siro this summer after six seasons.

Behind him, he will leave a legacy that is hard to match. Despite Milan finding itself in a period of transition, the 22-year-old has been a stalwart in the net, keeping 71 cleans sheets in 215 matches.

Italy's number one also hasn't conceded a goal for his country in over 1000 minutes, putting him on the verge of breaking the record set by Italy legend Dino Zoff in 1974.

Over the past three seasons, no goalkeeper has kept more clean sheets in the Bundesliga than Leipzig's Gulácsi.

The Hungarian shot stopper has managed to shut out the opposition an incredible 41 times.

That's seven more clean sheets than Manuel Neuer — who is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in history — has kept so in the same period.

Gulácsi's talent shone through for the world to see at Euro 2020 as Hungary held reigning world champion France to a 1-1 draw, with the 31-year-old producing a number of key saves.

Mike Maignan kept 21 cleans sheets as LOSC Lille won an unlikely Ligue 1 title last term.

Not only was that the best total in the league, but also the best of any keeper in all of Europe's top five divisions.

Nicknamed the "Magic Eagle," Maignan was snapped by AC Milan shortly after Lille's domestic triumph, where he is expected to replace the outbound Donnarumma as the club's number one.

"I know that Milan is a great club, with a lot of pressure," the 25-year-old said in a press conference May.

"I am not coming to make people forget about Donnarumma, he is a child of the club, I am coming to be myself."

After a bumpy start to his Real Madrid career, Thibaut Courtois has re-established himself as one of world soccer's elite keepers over the past two seasons.

In 2019/20, the Belgian kept a division high 18 clean sheets as Madrid won its first La Liga title in three years.

The season just gone Courtois kept another 17 clean sheets — just one less than Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak — as Madrid finished second behind its city rival.

Keylor Navas is a joy to watch.

He might be 34 years old, but the Costa Rican is as athletic as they come, boasts some of the best reflexes you're ever likely to see, and is not afraid to put his body on the line.

Navas' stellar performance in PSG's Champions League last-16 victory over Barcelona back in March epitomized his excellence.

Boasting the most clean sheets in each of the last three Premier League seasons, Manchester City keeper Ederson is clearly a tough man to beat.

However, it is the Brazilian's unparalleled distribution of the ball that makes him really stand out.

"With his feet, he is the best," City boss Pep Guardiola said of Ederson after he produced a stunning assist from his own box during City's 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in February.

"The quality of the pass, I would say, is the best."

Ederson is so good with his feet that Manchester City have even considered allowing him to be the team's penalty kick taker.

Jan Oblak has kept 123 clean sheets in the 229 La Liga games he's played for Atletico Madrid.

That means he boasts the highest clean sheet percentage (53.7%) in the division's history, and by some way too. His closest contender is Real's Thibaut Courtois, who has shut out his opponents in 47.1% of his games.

Simply put, Oblak is in a league of his own.
