Surprise at the Yashin Trophy, Two Young Goalkeepers Enter the Nomination

DBasia.news –  Kepa Arrizabalaga and Andre Onana are two surprising names as they made it to the Yashin Trophy nomination list. The two young goalkeepers stepped in because of their alluring performances at club level in the 2018/19 season.
