5 best goalkeepers in the Premier League this season

Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal - Premier League
A Premier League legend, Cech's performances have been disappointing this season

#3 Thibault Courtois (Chelsea)

Chelsea v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League
The giant Belgian has found his best form this season

What stands out the most about Courtois is that he never tries to stand out or display for the cameras as other goalies want to do (De Gea is particularly guilty of this): he just gets on with his job and is better at his job than most of the other goalkeepers on the world

Even the most outrageous saves look easy and effortless for him and his face is always impassive, his movements always secure.

In a season that has seen all sorts of things happen at Stamford Bridge: the good, the bad and the absurd, he has stood out like a gigantic beacon of hope for his team-mates & fans alike.

Despite the many changes in the team's backline due to manager Antonio Conte's tactics or injuries, the Belgian international has continued to make the saves as evidenced by his clean sheet record (13 in 26 games).

But for certain reasons, he would be top of this list and nobody would complain, he has been that good.

The Blues will do well to get him to sign a new contract and soon before the grasping claws of Real Madrid swoop in to snatch this world-class talent away.
