WHICH PREMIER LEGAUE GOALKEEPER IS BEST IN 1V1 SITUATIONS?

New research has emerged which means Premier League goalkeepers can now be ranked from best to worst on their ability to produce a save in 1v1 scenarios. Did you know 33% of all goals scored are from 1v1 situations? When a striker is running in on goal, or has an uncontested opportunity to shoot from close range, the odds tend to be stacked in the attacker’s favour.

The best Premier League goalkeepers 1v1

After all, the goalposts on a football pitch are 7.32 metres wide and the average Premier League goalkeeper is 1.9 metres tall. That is a distinct advantage for the attacker and it means that on the occasion a commentator brings out the classic line – ‘The keeper had absolutely no chance with that!’ – he’s right, he most likely didn’t. Therefore finding an exceptional shot-stopper is a big prize for a football club, especially one that excels in 1v1 situations. But which club has the best keeper?

TOTTENHAM COULD SUFFER THIS HUGE TRANSFER BLOW

Tottenham could be set to sell Dutch international winger Steven Bergwijn to Premier League top four rivals Arsenal this summer, according to an eye-opening report. The Gunners are said to have shown an interest in signing Bergwijn from Spurs ahead of next season, with the 24-year-old’s future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium looking doubtful after another underwhelming season.


And despite the bitter hostilities between the two clubs, there remains a chance that a deal could be struck for Antonio Conte ’s player to switch allegiances in North London and complete a move to the Emirates Stadium in search of a career kickstart.

                 LIVERPOOL LINKED WITH POTENTIAL ORIGI REPLACEMENT SIGNING

Liverpool have been tipped to start looking for ways to sign replacements for their players who are already nearing the end of their careers. They have also been tasked with the responsibility of letting go of players who want to leave the club, while also having at the back of their mind that they would need to sign replacements for such players as well. One of the players who fits into this category is Belgium international striker Divock Origi. With the striker out of contract this summer, it’s possible Liverpool will be looking to acquire a forward who won’t mind if they don’t feature as often as the Reds’ more illustrious forwards.


The obvious strategy would be to sign a young player who can learn from the world class players at the club and continue to develop over the next year or two. Whether this is Liverpool’s plan or not, they have been linked with Czech striker Adam Hlozek and not for the first time. The 19-year-old was reported to be of interest to the Reds around 12 months ago, though obviously nothing came of the speculation at the time. Read more
