2. Steve Mandanda (Olympique Marseille)

Olympique captain is one of the true leaders of the team. He appeared in the first game for the team in 2005 and since that secured a first choice keeper’s position.

3. Guillermo Ochoa (Ajaccio)
You might be surprised finding a Mexican keeper in the ranking, but the talent of Ajaccio goalkeeper is undisputable.

4. Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint-Germain)

They say that big teams should build the defense line first and only than find a reliable keeper. Yet the Parisian club managed to find a top-quality guard who is quick and confident. Salvatore Sirigu is also quite young, yet progressed from the Serie C1 team Cremonese to PSG just in 5 years. PSG is still in search for their own style on the field and often it is Sirigu who makes numerous seves in the match and gives the team a chance to win difficult games.

5. Mickaël Landreau (Lille)

He moved to Lille in 2009 and became the major figure there. Unfortunately he has not been number 1 choice in the national team for years, yet FootballTop.com reader’s still believe Landreau is a superb player.
