Jules Kakpo

This energetic Beninese goalkeeper dominates the area with superhuman reflexes and daring dives, though he can occasionally leave himself exposed with lapses in positioning. To maintain focus, he insists on chewing a tiny hole into the thumb of his right glove before kickoff; while his teammates find the ritual baffling, they never question the results. His cat-like agility makes him a daunting force between the sticks, turning potential disasters into highlight-reel saves.
