With the January transfer window well under way, which of these goalkeepers will be the first to move?
There are a number of clubs on the lookout for goalkeepers this winter, with Liverpool looking to replace the underperforming Simon Mignolet, and Everton looking having to deal with an injury to first choice shot-stopper Tim Howard.

Here are the top six keepers who could be on the move this January:
6) Neto – Fiorentina
Possible destinations – Liverpool, Roma, and Juventus

Fiorentina head coach Vincenzo Montella has recently expressed his disappointment at the Brazilian shot-stoppers decision not to sign a new deal at the club.
Neto will certainly be leaving by the end of the season, but with Juventus keen on the 25-year-old he could be on the move this January.
5) Guillermo Ochoa – Malaga
Possible destinations – Liverpool and Everton

Despite only joining Malaga this past summer, the Mexican has been linked with a move away from the La Liga side.
Liverpool have allegedly shown some interest, while Everton are also thought to be keen following an injury to Tim Howard.
4) Loris Karius – FSV Mainz 05
Possible destinations – Arsenal, FC Schalke, Borussia Dortmund, and Valencia

Arsenal’s No.1 shot-stopper Wojciech Szczesny certainly has the odd mistake in him, and despite signing David Ospina over the summer, Arsene Wenger is reportedly keen on Mainz keeper Loris Karius.
The 21-year-old’s contract expires at the end of the season, so would be available cheaply in January.
3) Mattia Perin – Genoa
Possible destinations – Liverpool

The Italian keeper has been in exceptional form so far this season, and has been heavily tipped to replace Simon Mignolet at Liverpool.
2) Petr Cech – Chelsea
Possible destinations – Arsenal, Liverpool, and AS Roma

Jose Mourinho is unlikely to want to sell to a Premier League rival, despite heavy interest from both Arsenal and Liverpool.
Serie A side Roma are reportedly close to completing a deal for the experienced keeper, but with Mark Schwarzer already having left, surely Mourinho will be reluctant to let Cech go too.
1) Hugo Lloris – Tottenham
Possible destinations – Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain

Arguably one of the best goalkeepers in the world, the Frenchman has been linked with a big money move this January.
Tottenham are apparently ready to cash in on one of their prize assets, with a £25m move being touted.
