Former Manchester City star Shay Given believes Ederson is the best goalkeeper in the world when it comes to the ball-playing qualities. The Brazil international only joined the Citizens from Benfica last year but he has since built a huge reputation for himself after having won the Premier League with a record points tally during his debut campaign.

Speaking to ManCity.com, Given highlighted that there is still room for improvement with Ederson but he is still clearly the best shot-stopper in the world when it comes to the passing attribute, he said: “He’s still relatively young in goalkeeping terms and he’s still improving. He’s been a great signing, there’s no getting away from that fact, and he was probably a bit of an unknown when he signed.
