'He WILL go down as a great': Joleon Lescott heaps praise on 'unique' Manchester City star Ederson - as the Brazilian goalkeeper closes in on equalling Peter Schmeichel's Premier League title record

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has won praise for his 'unique ability' as he closes in on equalling Peter Schmeichel's record five Premier League titles for a goalkeeper.

Ederson has revolutionised the position since he signed for Pep Guardiola in 2017 and former City defender Joleon Lescott, who won two league titles at The Etihad in front of Joe Hart, says the Brazilian will go down as a great.

'I don't think the number of Premier League titles alone determines whether you are the best but when all is said and done, I think he will go down as a great,' said Lescott.
