Ederson

Pep Guardiola’s decision sign an unknown prospect for €40m to sign the unknown Ederson from Benfica in 2017 proved right on. In no time at all, Ederson became the unquestionable Manchester City number one.

The Brazilian has solved Manchester city‘s goalkeeper problem and will likely be an ever-present figure in the team through the 2020 decade as is also considered the top best goalkeepers in the world right now. Aside from some outstanding reflexes and shot-stopping abilities, Ederson is also good with the ball on his feet.
