Ipswich Town keeper Aro Muric has been named among some superstars of world football in the European team of the week.
The big Kosovan made some sensational saves – including one amazing double stop – to keep Town’s first clean sheet of the Premier League season at in-form Brighton on Saturday.
And that performance has seen him picked in goal in the WhoScored.com European team of the week, alongside some world-famous players.

Also in the team are Harry Kane of Bayern Munich, who scored a hat-trick in a 6-1 win at Holstein Kiel on Saturday, plus Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal, who got a brace in their 4-1 win at Girona.
After the game on Saturday, Town boss Kieran McKenna said of Muric: “I think he showed exactly why we wanted to bring him to the football club.
“With where we are as a team coming into this division, getting a goalkeeper who can win you points on certain days is absolutely massive because every point is massive in the league.
“Aro has shown across his career that he can be a match-winning goalkeeper and he can earn points for the team. He’s a fantastic shot-stopper and he controls his box like not many goalkeepers in the division.
“It’s a great day for him and his integration into the team. He’s still very young for a goalie, he’s still learning and adapting to what we want from him, but I think today is a great step forward.
“He showed everyone why we brought him to the football club and what he can bring for us.”
