FIFA's seven-man shortlist for The Best FIFA Men's Goalkeeper award has been unveiled.
2023's winner, Manchester City stopper Ederson, is once again up for the prize after helping Pep Guardiola's side to the Premier League title last season, but he faces significant competition from a handful of Premier League rivals.
Arsenal's David Raya will be among the favourites after winning the Premier League's Golden Glove, while charismatic Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is always towards the top of these shortlists and will likely be up there again this year after his role in Argentina's Copa America triumph.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid stand-in Andriy Lunin gets a deserved mention after helping his side seal Champions League glory. Drafted in for the injured Thibaut Courtois, the Ukraine international dazzled all season before being controversially benched for the European final.
Spain star Unai Simon is up for the award after shining at both international and club level. The Euro 2024 winner was named in La Liga's team of the season and also helped Athletic Club lift the Copa del Rey.
Gianluigi Donnarumma lifted another handful of trophies with Paris Saint-Germain to earn himself a spot on the shortlist, while AC Milan's Mike Maignan completes the list of goalkeepers looking to get their hands on the trophy.
