Nice goalkeeper Walter Benitez attracting interests from Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United open to Premier League switch

The English Premier League has attracted Nice goalkeeper Walter Benitez, and the Argentine could soon become a major target of some of its clubs following an impressive campaign with the French outfit.

The 26-year-old featured in 38 games across all competitions for Patrick Vieira’s side in 2018-19, conceding just 26 times.

Of the 136 shots on target he faced, Benitez saved 110, and his 81% save ratio – the best in Europe – was better than the likes of Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak and Liverpool’s Alisson who had 79% and 77% respectively.
