Who has the most Golden Glove awards in Premier League history? Top 10 goalkeepers with the most wins

The Golden Glove is an award introduced in the 2004/05 season to honor the Premier League goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in a single campaign. Over more than 20 years, 11 goalkeepers have won this award. Soccerway UK listed goalkeepers who have the most Golden Glove awards in Premier League history.

Top 10 goalkeepers who have the most Golden Glove awards

This award is determined by the number of clean sheets in a season, meaning there are seasons in which two goalkeepers share the honor.

10. Matz Sels (2024/25), Wojciech Szczęsny (2013/14)

These two goalkeepers are ranked last because they did not win the award outright but shared it with other players. Wojciech Szczęsny enjoyed an outstanding season, playing 37 of 38 matches and helping Arsenal stay near the top of the table, while also winning the FA Cup to end the club’s trophy drought.

Matz Sels, meanwhile, established himself as one of the league’s standout goalkeepers, delivering consistently high performances to help Nottingham Forest remain in mid-table. Sharing the Golden Glove with David Raya, Sels showed many qualities of a modern goalkeeper, including strong footwork and effective ball distribution.

9. Thibaut Courtois (1) - Chelsea (2016/17)

Under Antonio Conte in the 2016/17 season, Chelsea were one of the hardest teams to break down in the league. With a solid 3-4-3 system and an excellent goalkeeper behind it, Courtois kept 16 clean sheets as Chelsea won the Premier League title. This was the only time the Belgian won the Golden Glove before moving to Real Madrid after the 2017/18 season.

8. Edwin van der Sar (1) - Manchester United (2008/09)

Despite being 38 years old, Edwin van der Sar delivered an exceptional season following Manchester United’s Champions League triumph. Supported by Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidić, he kept 21 clean sheets, helping United secure their 18th Premier League title.

7. David Raya (2) - Arsenal (2023/24, 2024/25)

Since joining Arsenal, David Raya has quickly established himself as one of the league’s top goalkeepers. While Arsenal’s defensive unit, especially William Saliba and Gabriel, played a major role, Raya also produced several decisive saves. He recorded 16 clean sheets in his first season, followed by 13 in the next campaign.

6. Alisson (2) - Liverpool (2018/19, 2021/22)

One of the finest goalkeepers in Premier League history, Alisson combines elite reflexes, strong one-on-one ability, excellent footwork, and long-range passing. In his first season as Liverpool’s starter, he won the Golden Glove with 21 clean sheets. After returning from injury in 2021/22, he kept 20 clean sheets, helping Liverpool stay in the title race with Manchester City until the final day.

5. David de Gea (2) - Manchester United (2017/18, 2022/23)

Often described as a goalkeeper who carried his team, David de Gea was Manchester United’s standout performer in the years following Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure. In 2017/18, his world-class reflexes helped United record 18 clean sheets. He maintained a high level in 2022/23 under Erik ten Hag, keeping 17 clean sheets, finishing in the top three, and winning the Carabao Cup.

4. Ederson (3) - Manchester City (2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22)

Ederson became Manchester City’s first-choice goalkeeper under Pep Guardiola and helped redefine the role of a sweeper keeper. Supported by a dominant defense, he consistently delivered strong performances. In the 2021/22 season, he kept 20 clean sheets, sharing the Golden Glove with Alisson and helping City successfully defend their league title.

3. Pepe Reina (3) - Liverpool (2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08)

Often underrated, Pepe Reina stood out thanks to his positioning, reading of the game, and long passing, despite not being exceptionally tall. He kept 20 clean sheets in his debut season and went on to win the Golden Glove in the next two campaigns, becoming the first goalkeeper to claim the award three times.

2. Joe Hart (4) - Manchester City (2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13, 2014/15)

Before Ederson’s arrival, Joe Hart was Manchester City’s undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for many years. After Pepe Reina, he became the second player to win the Golden Glove three consecutive times. His most memorable season came in 2011/12, when he kept 17 clean sheets and helped City secure the title in dramatic fashion, sealed by Sergio Agüero’s famous last-minute goal.

1. Petr Čech (4) - Chelsea, Arsenal (2004/05, 2009/10, 2013/14, 2015/16)

Petr Čech tops the list after an extraordinary Premier League career. In the 2004/05 season, he was Chelsea’s starting goalkeeper as they conceded just 15 goals, the fewest in league history, and he set a record with 24 clean sheets, a mark that has not been matched in over 20 years. He remains the only goalkeeper to win the Golden Glove under three different managers. In 2015/16, at the age of 33, he kept 16 clean sheets for Arsenal, helping them finish second and underlining his enduring class.
