Aaron Ramsdale has been shortlisted for the Yashin Trophy in the 2023 Ballon d’Or awards alongside three other Premier League goalkeepers.<\/p>\n
The prestigious gong will be given to the world’s best stopper next month and Arsenal No 1 Ramsdale is in contention on the 10-man strong list.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fellow top-flight keepers Andre Onana, Emiliano Martinez and Ederson, of Manchester United, Man City and Aston Villa respectively, are also up for the prize.<\/p>\n
They have been joined by Mike Maignan, Yassine Bounou, Brice Samba, Thibaut Courtois, Dominik Livakovic and Marc-Andre ter Stegen, meanwhile.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid’s Courtois is the current holder of the Yashin Trophy.<\/p>\n

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has been nominated for this year’s Yashin Trophy<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ramsdale has impressed for both club and country but is rivalled by a host of other stoppers<\/p>\n

Dominik Livakovic (Fenerbahce)<\/p>\n
Marc-Andre ter Stegen (Barcelona)\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ramsdale has enjoyed a superb year at the Emirates, having helped the club challenge for the league title before losing out to City in agonising fashion.<\/p>\n
Despite David Raya arriving on loan from Brentford and Mikel Arteta weighing up handing the understudy a chance, Ramsdale remains the club’s first-choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Onana featured in Inter Milan’s Champions League final defeat while Ederson claimed yet another major trophy with a City side that completed an historic Treble.<\/p>\n
Martinez has also caught the eye with a string of superb stops under Unai Emery.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Maignan has become France’s No 1 while Bounou secured a lucrative move to Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal after winning the Europa League at Sevilla.<\/p>\n
Samba, formerly of Nottingham Forest, is a surprise inclusion on the list.<\/p>\n
Despite his season-ending ACL injury, Courtois will be among the favourites to defend his title, though LaLiga rival Ter Stegen is hoping to challenge him.<\/p>\n
Croatia goalkeeper Livakovic was crucial to his country’s run to the World Cup semi-finals in 2022 and recently joined Fenerbahce in Turkey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Manchester City No 1 Ederson has also made the shortlist and may be among the favourites<\/p>\n
