Vincent Enyeama is Best Goalkeeper in Europe – Supersport

Super Eagles goalie, Vincent Enyeama, has been announced as the best goalkeeper in major leagues across Europe in the 2013/14 football season. According to a research by supersport.com, the ratio of saves made to goals conceded by Enyeama is the most impressive compared to any goalkeeper in any football club in Europe’s top leagues this season. The 31-year old Enyeama conceded eight goals in 19 league appearances for Lille OSC this season and was voted best player in Ligue 1 on two consecutive occasions ahead of the likes of Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani, Mathieu Valbuena, Radamel Falcao and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Enyeama’s saves to goals conceded ratio stands at seven, which puts him ahead of goalkeepers like Victor Valdés (FC Barcelona), Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich), Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus) and Morgan de Sanctis (AS Roma). “I work with (Enyeama) whenever he’s back on international duty so this news brings a smile to my face. He is making us proud and more importantly the fact that these things are happening during the season leading to the World Cup is fantastic,” Ike Shorunmu, Super Eagles’s trainer for goalies was qouted by supersport.com in the report. Enyeama made his debut for Nigeria in 2002 and has been capped 88 times by the Super Eagles.
