The World Cup 2018.is underway and players are all in the race towards golden boots and being named best players, here is a list of best 4 goalkeepers below the age of 25.
1. Simone Scuffet
Italy prospect Simone Scuffet has flown under the radar for overseas fans, largely because he hails from the same country as the incredible Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is almost three years younger and already being tipped as Buffon's successor for the national team.
Scuffet is also yet to fully establish himself as number one for his club side, Udinese, although at 21, there's not really any shame in that. Only an elite group of 'keepers get the number one jersey for a top division side so young.
2. Yvon Mvogo
Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig have developed a knack for identifying the world's best young players over recent years, examples of which include Timo Werner, Dayot Upamecano and the Liverpool-bound Naby Keita.
Among the latest batch of prospects they've picked up is 23-year-old Swiss goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo, signed in the summer from the appropriately-named Young Boys for a fee thought to be in the region of €5m.
3. Jordan Pickford
Jordan Pickford is, admittedly, from England, a country which hasn't produced a genuinely world-class goalkeeper for at least 40 years. He also plays for Everton, a side that hasn't won anything in about 20.
But appearances can be deceptive, and Pickford is an altogether more modern 'keeper than many of his countrymen. He's quick across the ground, handy with his feet, and capable of picking out teammates with accurate passes long and short.
At 24, there's also plenty of time for him to improve the not-so-impressive areas of his game.
4. Loris Karius
After struggling for two years to settle on a first-choice goalkeeper, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp may well be in the market for a new one this summer, with a host of big names now being linked with Anfield.
It is tempting, then, to write off one of their current shot-stoppers, the 24-year-old Loris Karius, who has endured no end of criticism for his performances since joining the club from Mainz in 2016.
