Alexander Nübel, born on 30 September 1996 (age 29), is a German goalkeeper now with Besiktas. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.93m), he has the frame normally expected of a modern keeper, though that alone has never saved anyone from scrutiny.
His senior career began to register at Schalke 04, where he made a league appearance in the 2015-16 season. That early spell put him into the usual German goalkeeper conversation, a market that rarely lacks confidence in its own production line.
Nübel is currently valued at around £10m by Transfermarkt. His career to this point has taken him from Schalke into a current role at Besiktas, with his profile built around size, senior experience and the particular exposure that comes with goalkeeping in prominent European leagues.
