FootballAndre Onana, Mike Maignan, Thibaut Courtois Included in 10 Most Valuable Goalkeepers in the World
- Portugal's goalkeeper, Diogo Costa, is the most valuable goalkeeper in the world
- No Arsenal goalkeeper is featured in the top 10, with Manchester United's Andre Onana making the cut
- Thibaut Courtois is a surprise inclusion, given the Belgian will hardly play this season due to an ACL injury
The return of league action after the October set of international matches was marred with goalkeeping mistakes, especially in the London derby.
Chelsea's Robert Sanchez and Arsenal's David Raya were individually responsible for the goals their teams conceded as the two neighbours played out to a thrilling two-all draw.
In light of this, Transfermarkt has released a new set of the most valuable goalkeepers in the world. The site uses different parameters to gauge the market value of a certain player.
Some of the parameters include age, the length of contract remaining, and the importance to the national and club teams.
Thibaut Courtois' inclusion
FC Porto's goalkeeper, Diogo Costa has been adjudged to be the most valuable goalkeeper. Aged 24 years old, he has seemingly become Roberto Martinez's first choice for the Selecao.
His fellow 24-year-old, Gianluigi Donnaruma, is second, with the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper also doubling as Italy's number one.
Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois has surprisingly ranked highly, featuring at position four despite being ruled out of the entire season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, as reported by 90MIN.
No Arsenal goalkeeper has been featured in the top 10. Mikel Arteta surprised many when he moved for Brentford's David Raya and installed him as number one over Aaron Ramsdale.
There is, however, a place for Andre Onana, who is sixth on the log despite his indifferent start to his career at Manchester United.

FootballThe world's most expensive goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is currently on loan at Real Madrid, is only ranked 26th on the list.
Chelsea fans fault Robert Sanchez
Sports Brief also reported that Chelsea fans have singled out Robert Sanchez for their draw against Arsenal in an entertaining London derby on October 21.
The Gunners staged a late comeback to come from two goals down to maintain their unbeaten start to the league season.
Things would have been very different if Chelsea had kept their concentration for the full 90 minutes as they were in control of the game for large parts thanks to goals from Cole Palmer and Mykhailo Mudryk.
