HEIGHT has always been seen as an advantage in the hustle and bustle of the Premier League.
It seems to be a requirement for centre-backs to be at least 6ft, while goalkeepers continue to grow – with many of the division’s top stoppers standing taller than 6ft 5in.


Here are the 10 Tallest players currently operating in the top flight



1) Costel Pantilimon, Watford – 6ft 8in

The former Manchester City stopper has held top spot for a while but has is firmly entrenched as Watford’s No 2 behind Hurelho Gomes. The man who stands a massive 14ins above Ryan Fraser has made just two substitute appearances in the Prem this season.

2) Fraser Forster, Southampton – 6ft 7in

The England No 2 has enjoyed another excellent season on the South Coast, keeping nine clean sheets already this season fewer than only Courtois, David De Gea and Hugo Lloris.

3) Peter Crouch, Stoke City – 6ft 7in

The former England striker is enjoying an Indian summer this season. After failing to score and playing just 11 matches last term, Crouch has seven goals this season and has become one of the first names on Mark Hughes’ team sheet.

4) Thibaut Courtois, Chelsea – 6ft 6.5in

The big Belgian is back to his very best this season. After a poor campaign last season, he has arguably been the best keeper in the league – conceding just 21 goals in 28 games and keeping

O boy! see height

5) Per Mertesacker, Arsenal – 6ft 6in

The German captain was inexplicably handed a new one-year contract extension by Arsene Wenger in January – despite not yet playing a game this season.

6) Wayne Hennessey, Crystal Palace – 6ft 6in

The Irish keeper has his critics and only came into the Palace team after a long-term injury to summer signing Steve Mandanda.

7) Asmir Begovic, Chelsea – 6ft 6in

The Bosnian is arguably the best No 2 keeper in the league and would start for a number of other Premier League teams – but he’s stuck behind Thibaut Courtois.

Petr Cech, Arsenal – 6ft 5in

After more than a decade as one of the top goalkeeper’s in England, Cech finally seems to be slipping with rumours that the Gunners could be looking for a replacement this summer.

9) Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Manchester United – 6ft 5in

The veteran Swede has been a revelation since arriving at Old Trafford, despite doubts other whether he could cut it at age 35. Jose Mourinho’s favourite has 26 goals already this season.

So Per Mertesacker, Courtois, Begovic, Cech are taller than Ibrahimovic ?

POGBA

10) Joel Matip, Liverpool – 6ft 5in

The Reds’ defence looks a lot more solid when the Cameroonian plays. The centre-back has been one of the signings of last summer after moving on a free from Schalke.
