The Premier League is currently host to the two most expensive goalkeepers in the world.

Playing in goal was for so long a thankless task, both in terms of pressure heaped on you but also relative treatment from fans and even owners.

Goalies never commanded the biggest fees, despite their importance to a team. But that situation is finally changing with two colossal moves this summer; Liverpool signing Alisson for £65m and then Chelsea snatching up Kepa Arrizabala for £71.6m.

But just how good are these new arrivals? Where do they fall within the Premier League’s already fine bounty of goalkeepers? We had a look and came up with a list of the top 10 goalkeepers in England’s top flight!

1. David De Gea

Manchester United, 27 years-old

It seemed fitting that 2017/18 saw Manuel Neuer miss the whole season with injury as David De Gea played with even more genius than usual. The Spaniard is now the undisputed best goalkeeper in the world (only his absurd haircut held him back at the World Cup – and he’s got rid of that now) and will look to bring that level of brilliance back to United as the Red Devils make yet another tilt at a title they haven’t won for five seasons.

And they know that there’s no way they can do that without a goalkeeper who is so good he’s been their player of the year four out of the last five years. David De Gea, miracle worker.

2. Alisson

Liverpool, 25 years-old

What a beard! Alisson enters the Premier League a hirsute sensation already, although he was only the world’s most expensive goalkeeper for a month. Just like his compatriot, he can do everything asked of a modern goalkeeper. Whilst he may not be quite as good as Ederson with the ball at his feet, Alisson’s more traditional goalkeeping attributes are perhaps stronger.

With the hype around him reaching fever pitch, the Brazilian will have a job on to match expectations, but he is playing behind the strongest Liverpool defence for a decade; so he’s got a chance!

3. Ederson

Manchester City, 23 years-old

Brazil’s back-up who could easily be the starter, Ederson was amazing for Manchester City last year as they romped to an incredible 100 point Premier League title. This Brazilian can do it all; from miracle saves on his line to claiming crosses in mid-air to carrying the ball forward and picking out team-mates with pinpoint passes. Ederson is a key part of his side’s defence and their attack, and there are not many goalkeepers who can say that!

4. Kasper Schmeichel

Leicester, 31 years-old

“The son becomes the father, and the father? Well, the son.” Jor-El talking about Superman, or Peter Schmeichel talking about son Kasper? The younger Schmeichel, in addition to winning a Premier League title with Leicester of all teams, has now shone in a World Cup. The Dane helped his country make it to the round of 16 and did a huge amount to help them nearly get further.

5. Hugo Lloris

Spurs, 31 years-old

Lloris is coming off his worst season in a while, but conversely also coming off his best-ever summer tournament. Hugo Lloris captained France to World Cup glory in Russia and he will hope to bring that calmness under pressure and trophy-winning experience to Spurs. Can he help the Lillywhites finally win something?
