The top 20 goalkeepers in world football is a tough field to break into; the quality on show is high. With that in mind, commiserations to these five shot-stoppers who fell just short of the list.

Jeroen Zoet, PSV Eindhoven

PSV produced the joint-best defensive record in the Eredivisie last season, conceding just 23 goals, and much of that was down to Zoet. A monster one-on-one presence while also superb on the goal line, the Dutchman should interest any club looking for a cheap upgrade between the sticks this summer.

Wojciech Szczesny, Roma (on loan from Arsenal)

Arsenal have a tough choice to make this summer. Petr Cech's showing signs of decline, while Szczesny put his career back on track in 2016-17 by holding Brazil No. 1 Alisson out of the Roma side and playing every league game.

Kevin Trapp, Paris Saint-Germain

A few wobbles this season saw him dip in and out of the starting XI, and while Trapp is a good goalkeeper, he hasn't entirely convinced during his tenure in the French capital.

Diego Alves, Valencia

Had an up-and-down 2016-17 in line with Valencia's travails, but generally speaking, you can rely on Alves to get you out of a tight spot. He's second to none with regard to saving penalties.

Bernd Leno, Bayer Leverkusen

A good goalkeeper who seems to be a little down on his luck. Two years ago, Leno would have made the top 20, but right now he's making too many errors—be it for Germany or Bayer Leverkusen.
