Goalkeeper Pau Lopez has hit the ground running since his arrival at Marseille last summer.

The 27-year-old has kept an impressive nine clean sheets in his first Ligue 1 campaign, helping his new team to third in the league table. In a game against Strasbourg last year, the Spaniard registered a staggering 73 touches of the ball.

The former AS Roma and Espanyol goalkeeper has also kept two clean sheets in five games in the Europa League.


#2 Samir Handanovic - 81.7

Samir Handanovic is a Serie A veteran. Having made his league debut almost two decades ago (2003-04), he has made nearly 550 appearances in the competition and kept 194 clean sheets.

The Slovenian goalkeeper has made over 350 of those appearances with Inter Milan, with whom he won the Serie A title last season. Still going strong at the age of 37, Handanovic has kept ten clean sheets in 22 games as the Nerazzurri seek to retain their league title.

Though Inter's run of eight league wins came to an end against Atalanta, Handanovic's exploits helped keep the defending champions' citadel intact.

The Slovenian is well on course for his best Serie A campaign in terms of clean sheets. He kept 17 shutouts apiece in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 campaigns (both with Inter).


#1 Jose Sa - 85.9

Jose Sa has had a superb start to life in the English top flight since arriving at Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer.

The Portuguese goalkeeper has kept eight clean sheets in 21 league games, conceding only 16 goals for Wolves, who are eighth in the league table. However, Wolves are only four points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester United and have a game in hand.

Impressively, the 29-year-old has kept clean sheets against Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester United in his last five league outings.
