“He has broken into the Roma team after (Wojciech) Szczesny was the No 1 before he went to Juventus last summer,” Given said on Sky Sports News.
“He has taken the shirt and he’s been fantastic all season.
“He’s the Brazilian No 1 as well and we’ve all seen Ederson play for Man City this year and how good he’s been and this guy’s ahead of him.
