With a man-of-the-match showing against Chelsea last week, Stefan Ortega Moreno is already demonstrating his value for the club. Whilst Ederson’s number-one status remains untouchable for the time being, City have not always had strong back-up options to push their Brazilian goalkeeper for his spot in the team.
Zack Steffen and Claudio Bravo are the two most recent occupants, and even going back further to the likes of Willy Caballero, there has always been a significant step down in quality when Ederson is rested or unavailable.
With Ortega however, City have acquired a competent and confident shot-stopper who has an eye for a pass and excellent anticipation to put himself in the best position to make saves at all times.
