Best Premier League Goalkeepers in 2024: Complete Performance Analysis-  Updated

10. Alphonse Areola (West Ham United) 

Weighted score: 72 

Kicking off our list at number 10 is French goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. Areola has played for some of the biggest clubs in the world, such as PSG and Real Madrid. Winning some of the best trophies available, the likes of FIFA World Cup, LaLiga title, Ligue 1 title and UEFA Conference League. 

But he had never truly found a home where he could showcase his class and skill week in and week out. But with West Ham, he has finally found a home where he can showcase his talent. 

9. Bart Vebruggen (Brighton & Hove Albion) 

Weighted score: 73 

Vebruggen broke through at Anderlecht and was labelled as one of the youngsters to watch out for in world football. He joined Brighton in 2023 summer transfer window for a reported fee close to €19 million. 

Still just 22 years old, he has proved himself as one of the best sweeper keepers in the English top-flight and has firmly established himself as the number 1 at Brighton. He has become a major element of the already exciting Brighton project. 

Verbruggen’s rise has seen him linked with big-money moves to Manchester United and Manchester City. 

8. Guglielmo Vicario

Weighted score: 75 

Guglielmo Vicario replaced the legendary Hugo Lloris at Tottenham. The Italian goalkeeper has been a brilliant shot-stopper but has been called out various times while his team are defending set pieces. 

Unfortunately, he fractured his right ankle during an impressive 4-0 win over Manchester City on November 23 2024 and has been out of action ever since. 

7. Ederson (Manchester City) 

Weighted score: 76

Ederson has established himself as one of the best sweeper keepers in history and a Premier League great. With six Premier League titles, one UEFA Champions League title and various cup trophies on both national and international levels, Ederson has been one of Manchester City’s best-ever players and signings in history.

But Ederson looked set to depart the club in the summer of 2024 but stayed at the club in the end. Ederson’s form alongside injuries to key players such as Rodri has led to the shock drop of form from Pep Guardiola’s side during the 2024-25 season. He has also somewhat lost his starting spot to Ortega. 

6: Jordan Pickford (Everton) 

Weighted score: 77 

England and Everton’s number one Jordan Pickford is considered an English top flight legend by many due to his antics and consistent performances. Despite Everton’s recent financial troubles and even pointed deduction, Pickford has remained at the club, saving and earning his team many crucial points. 

He is one of the club captains of Everton and one of the best players of Sean Dyche’s team. 

5. Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa) 

Weighted score: 78

It is still incredible to think how an injury to Bernd Leno due to a tackle by Neal Maupay has led to the breakthrough and rise of Emiliano Martínez. Martinez joined in 2020 for a reported £20 million fee and has never looked back. 

He has led Villa back to the glory days, with the club now competing near the top of the Premier League table and returning to the UEFA Champions League after many years. While on the international stage, he has played a major role in Argentina’s FIFA World Cup triumph in 2022 and two Copa America triumphs in 2019 and 2024. He has also been awarded the Yashin trophy in two successive years in 2023 and 2024 for his incredible performances for club and country. 

4. Nick Pope (Newcastle United) 

Weighted score: 83 

Pope made a name for himself playing for Burnley and joined Newcastle United under new leadership and owners in 2022 for a reported fee of £10 million. During the 2022-23 season, he helped the club finish top four in the league, leading Newcastle back to the grand UEFA Champions League stage. 

In 2024, Pope has continued to perform on the top level and kept a lot of clean sheets even tho the defence in front of him has been missing some key figures, the likes of Botman due to injury. While Pope has also had his fair share of injuries, but he has performed on the top level whenever on the pitch. 

3. Andre Onana (Manchester United) 

Weighted score: 84

Andre Onana joined Manchester United in the summer of 2023, replacing the legendary David de Gea as the Red Devils’ new number-one in net. Replacing De Gea was going to be no easy task as the Spanish goalkeeper had been the club’s best player for nearly a decade. 

Onana came to the club after a close UEFA Champions League final defeat to Man City. The Cameroon shot-stopper got called out in pre-season only and the season that followed was very disappointing. A disappointing Champions League group stage exit, a horrible Premier League campaign followed. The only shining light was the FA Cup triumph at the end of the season. 

But the 2024-25 season has been different, Onana finally showed his class, saving his time again and again. Even having the most clean sheets in the league as things stand. With a new manager now in charge of the club, Onana will look to build on his good form and lead the club to more trophies. 

David Raya (Arsenal) 

Weighed score: 85 

Raya made his Premier League debut with Brentford and many questions were asked of the Spanish goalkeeper’s height and ability. But Raya made all the questions fade away in a flash with his impressive performances for the Bees. 

He caught the eye of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and joined the club on loan initially in the 2023 summer transfer window. Many questions were asked again as the Gunners had a good and young goalkeeper already in Ramsdale. But Raya once again proved everyone wrong and took his opportunity when it game. The club, manager and the goalkeeper have never looked back. 

Raya has been a key part of the best defense in the league and has impressed with his passing and sweeper keeper abilities. He has helped Arsenal challenge at the top of the Premier League table and Champions League. He was also a part of the Spain squad that lifted the Euro 2024 title.
