#3. Ederson - Manchester City
Ederson Moraes joined Manchester City in 2017 for a reported £35 million.
The move has paid multiple dividends as Ederson has gone on to become arguably the best goalkeeper in the club's history. Ederson hails from Sao Paulo in Brazil and is widely regarded as one of the best goalies in the world.
The 28-year-old displays incredible passing ability in addition to his excellent goalkeeping attributes. He can often be seen pinging passes across the field to find attackers making runs.
Ederson has enjoyed vast success ever since he joined City. He has already won three Premier League titles, one FA Cup and four EFL Cups. He was also a member of Brazil's Copa America-winning side in 2019.
The Brazilian is one of the most important players in the system employed by Pep Guardiola. His long passes are extremely effective. Ederson also has two Premier League assists to his name, a feat that is unheard of for goalkeepers.
There is no doubt that Ederson will continue to help City challenge for football's top honors going forward.
