The future of French goalkeeping - Meet Arsenal fan & NxGn ace Alban Lafont

Not even out of his teens and already approaching 100 senior games - the Toulouse youngster continues to turn heads across Europe

It speaks volumes for the talent of Toulouse goalkeeper Alban Lafont that by the end of the season, all things being equal, he will have played over 100 first-team matches.

Goalkeeper is notoriously a position in which players develop late, often continuing their careers well into their late 30s, yet the France Under-20 international only turned 19 in January. The experience he has gathered for his age is quite incredible.

Moreover, he has already developed a habit of reserving his best performances for the big occasion, really making his breakthrough when he shut out Paris Saint-Germain in a 2-0 home win last season courtesy of a couple of truly astounding stops.
