goalkeepers in Europe

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent
Enyeama has beat the likes of David Degea
of Manchester United, Petr Cech of Arsenal
and Joe Hart of Manchester City in the list
of the top 10 goalkeepers in Europe for the
2015/2016 season.
The ranking compiled by the Swiss-based
CIES Football Observatory had Enyeama
coming in an impressive sixth position on the
list, Goal.com reports.
According to CIES Football Observatory, the
ranking was done, taking into account the
number of goals conceded per match,
number of minutes per goal, number of
passes per match, number of saves per
match, number of saves per goal conceded
and the percentage of saves.
After every all assessment, Enyeama
finished in sixth place behind renowned
goalkeepers like Manuel Neuer of Bayern
Munich, Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid,
Gianluigi Buffon of Juventus, Kevin Trapp of
PSG and Claudio Bravo of Barcelona.
Coming behind Enyeama on the list are
Tottenham’s Hugo Lloris, Alphonse Areola of
Villareal, Keylor Navas of Real Madrid and
Pepe Reina of Napoli in the list of 10.

Enyeama took to his Instagram handle to
appreciate his family, fans, teammates and
supporters for their support.
The 33-year-old recently missed out on
winning silverware with Lille this season as
they lost 2-1 to PSG in the French Cup final.
Enyeama’s illustrious international career
came to an abrupt end last year when he
announced his retirement after a publicized
fall out with former Nigeria coach Sunday
Oliseh.




He earned a record 101 caps with the Super
Eagles and won the 2013 Africa Cup of
Nations title.
Enyeama had alleged that his confrontation
with ex-coach Sunday Oliseh arose after his
dead mother was insulted.
But in a swift response, Oliseh claimed
Enyeama lied and committed character
assassination.
The confrontation escalated quickly and
dominated discussions for days, eventually
leading to Enyeama’s premature retirement
from the Super Eagles. And with Nigerians
still coming to terms with Enyeama’s
retirement from international football via
Instagram, West Ham on-loan forward,
Emmanuel Emenike, also called it quit to his
international career, citing irreconcilable
differences with Oliseh.
