Lawrence Vigouroux

Vigouroux worked his way through the academies at three different Premier League clubs before getting a proper chance to play regular first team football. He found it through a loan spell that turned into a permanent career outside the top flight. At Swansea he looked the part, putting together a run of clean sheets that had not been matched at the club in years. That form won him the division's newcomer award in his first season. His shot stopping and positioning remain the foundation of his game, rather than anything flashy with the ball at his feet.

The subplot is the goalkeeping competition at the club, because Swansea carry an established senior goalkeeper capable of playing every week and only one of the two can realistically hold the jersey. Watch how the manager rotates the position, because that decision says plenty about who the club rates higher between the posts.
