​Man City goalkeeper Ederson shakes off price-tag pressure

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson insists that he is not feeling the weight of his hefty price-tag.

The 23-year-old became the second-most expensive goalkeeper in the world, after Juventus' Gianluigi Buffon, upon completing his £34.7million from Benfica earlier this summer.

"It's just a number," he said. "Many friends have said to me 'how does it feel to be the second-most expensive keeper in history?'. I feel completely normal.

"Going for one euro or for 40million euros makes no difference to me. The responsibility increases, but I'm ready for that. It's not going to affect my concentration."
