Chelsea v Stoke City - Premier League
Thibaut Courtois is one of the tallest goalkeepers in the league

He was one of the best goalkeepers in the league when Chelsea won it in 2014/15 and he won the Golden Glove for the 2016/2017 season. Courtois has proven on many occasions that his height is his weapon between the posts.

Height is certainly important for goalkeepers when it comes to neutralising aerial threats and their reach is crucial when making diving saves. Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois is a testament to this fact with 48 clean sheets in 126 Premier League appearances.

At 6 ft 6 (1.99m), he is one of the tallest goalkeepers in the world and has been capped 57 times for Belgium.
