The Manchester City shot-stopper has everything you'd expect from a modern-day goalkeeper and his exploits since joining the Cityzens has seen him establish himself as one of the most exciting goalkeepers in world football.

He has the agility, the shot-stopping nous, he is incredible 1v1 and boasts a passing range which may even put playmakers to shame. He is also a serial winner with Manchester City, who under Pep Guardiola have broken Premier League records with regards to total points and successive wins.

Since moving to England, Ederson has offered a safe pair of hands, something others before him have often failed to do. A perfect fit in Guardiola's system and a solid purveyor of the qualities he expects from his goalkeeper, he is now often the first name on the sheet.

On the other hand, keeping a staggering 20 clean sheets in 38 games for Manchester City in the Premier League last season, Ederson has conceded a mere 0.61 goals a game for club and country since making the move from Benfica.
