Free-scoring forwards, instrumental midfielders and astute managers are undoubtedly necessary when it comes to clinching trophies but several managers/players will undoubtedly attest to the fact that a world-class keeper between the posts goes a long way in bolstering a team's title-winning credentials.It's been 55 long years since Lev Yashin, the legendary Russian goalkeeper lifted the Ballon d'Or, the first (and only) goalkeeper to do so. However, with an emerging crop of sensational goalies bursting onto the scene, one would be hard-pressed to argue that at least one of these sparkling talents may go on to lift the coveted accolade in the years to come.Here we take a look at (arguably) the five best goalkeepers in the world of football right now:#5 Ederson MoraesThis season, Ederson has been nothing short of a revelation for Manchester City. Bought for £34.7 million in the summer of 2017 from Benfica, that sum is fast turning out to be a bargain in the light of his astonishing displays on the pitch.Manchester City was blighted with defensive issues last season, but with Ederson commandeering at the back, the Citizens seem to have successfully reversed that trend. This season, Ederson has kept 13 clean sheets in 30 appearances in all competitions.On average, he makes 1.91 saves per game, whilst maintaining a pass accuracy of 90%. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of his game is his keen distribution, dishing out the ball with an astonishing 88% success rate on average.Still only 24 years of age, Ederson has already made a compelling case for his talent and there's no doubting this young man's potential. With his best years ahead of him and placed in a team like Manchester City, it wouldn't be too surprising to see trophies and accolades find their way to the young Brazilian.
