4) Wojciech Szczesny – Arsenal
Only a few months ago it would have been David Ospina in position but following Szczesny’s smoking faux-pas and a particularly worried performance against Southampton it seemed Arsene Wenger had enough of the Pole and elected to start the World Cup starring keeper, Ospina, he had bought in the summer.
Whilst the Colombia hasn’t been everyone’s cup of tea and has had to overcome a number of freak and extensive injuries, he’s now building a consistent run in the side and strengthen his claim to be Arsenal No. 1.
Szczesny meanwhile has had to be content with a role as benchwarmer supreme and Arsenal cup keeper.
3) Marc Andre ter Stegen – Barcelona
Barcelona’s purchase of both Claudio Bravo and ter Stegen following the departure of Victor Valdes was a clever move, acquiring two up-and-coming and highly regarded keepers.
So for Luis Enrique has determined to make one a Cup keeper and one for the League and unfortunately for the German he’s had the short straw of the Cups.
This would surely have been a particular blow to Stegen who was phenomenal in three season at Borussia Monchengladbach.
