Valencia’s Georgian player Giorgi Mamardashvili has been included in the list of 10 best goalkeepers of the coming year by Top Soccer Blog, a website offering articles on global football.

The blog ranked the 22-year-old ninth in the list where the young keeper finds himself alongside Paris Saint Germain’s Gianluigi Donnaruma, Gavin Bazunuu of Southampton, Illan Meslier of Leeds United and others.

He [Mamardashvili] was initially assigned to the reserve team [at Valencia] but impressed manager Jose Bordalas in pre-season. As a result, he started in the opening match of the season against Getafe and impressively kept a clean sheet. Convinced by his performance, Valencia permanently signed Mamardashvili”, the article noted.

In March 2022, Mamardashvili became the first goalkeeper from Georgia to be valued at €5 million by Transfermarkt, a reference website for player value from across the world.
