And for the top spot, we've got a player that you might not have expected. Trubin might not have the name recognition of Vandevoordt, but he has an even greater potential.

Currently the first-choice for league-leading Shakhtar Donetsk, this 6'6", 200 lb mountain of a man is first and foremost a physically dominant keeper. With his jumping reach of 18, and aerial reach and natural fitness both at 16, you would almost be tempted to send him up the pitch for attacking corners.

But there is more to him than his physicality. An incredibly mentally tough young man, he works hard for his team and leads it from the back. His touch and eccentricity leave a lot to be desired, but despite that, he can still be a part of a high-line, counter-pressing, build-from-the-back type of team. He has the passing skills to kickstart attacks, and the pace to recover if there is a counter or a ball over the top.

His value is far beyond any previous entry on this list, so that might restrict any smaller clubs from snatching him up, but if you manage a rich club, then the £23 - 70 million that you would have to spend on Trubin should be the easiest decision you've made all week.
