One of the best GKs in the game and only 20 years old. Has probably reached his full potential now. Took over from ter Stegen as City number 1 midway through last season. Can go on to be Bristol City's GK for years to come!
Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Made immense progress last year and if that continues it won't be long until the 18 year old breaks into the City starting 11. Will almost certainly become the best defender in the World.
