Top 10 most valuable goalkeepers in the world revealed featuring Alisson, Aaron Ramsdale and Andre Onana

Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale has been named the most valuable goalkeeper in the world.

The CIES Football Observatory, a research group that focuses on statistical analysis in football, have valued the Arsenal shot-stopper at €79million (£67.5million).

Ramsdale caused a stir back in 2021 when he signed for the Gunners for around £30million, despite having suffered back-to-back relegations with Sheffield United and Bournemouth.

Eyebrows were initially raised over the signing, but the goalkeeper went on to establish himself as Arsenal’s first-choice and one of the Premier League’s most respected goalkeepers.

The 25-year-old’s performances were rewarded back in May when he was offered a lucrative four-year deal. Upon signing the deal, Ramsdale said: "It's crazy to think it's coming up to two years since we did this. I know that you guys weren't totally overexcited about the signing of myself and I totally get it.

"I didn't have any right to come here and expect you to rate me from the get-go. This is a huge club with some great keepers along the way. But, fair play, once I got into the team, I got my chance, I feel like you understood me a lot more. I feel your love and I feel like you feel mine as well.”
