Since Ederson joined Pep Guardiola’s side in the summer of 2017, Man City have been one of the Premier League’s most dominant clubs.
The Brazil international has steadied the ship in goal, winning six Premier League titles and a Champions League crown in one of the most relentless spells of success in English football.
While Ederson is an exceptional shot-stopper, he is best known as a possession-based goalkeeper, great with the ball at his feet. It’s been a perfect fit for Guardiola’s style of play, and the results have proven as such.
The Man City star has set a Premier League record in creativity, proving he’s more than just a short, possession-based passer. His long balls have been killer, helping to collect the most assists in Premier League history.
