Despite being the undisputed starter for the Saints since his arrival, Pope hasn’t exactly shone for England this year. There’s no indication that Eddie Howe will be looking to switch goalkeepers anytime soon, but having Dubravka as a backup is a huge advantage.

The veteran boasts extensive Premier League experience and has delivered some stellar performances, making an immediate impact upon his debut in 2018.

While Pope will eventually bounce back from his recent performance slump, Howe has solid options in the meantime.
