Brighton boss Graham Potter rates Robert Sanchez among the best goalkeepers in the world.
The 24-year-old's standout performances resulted in an international debut for Spain in September.
Potter believes former Forest Green and Rochdale loanee Sanchez possesses all the attributes of a top-class keeper as he builds experience following 44 Premier League appearances to date.
“Robert has the potential to be anything," said Potter, ahead of Sunday's trip to Everton.
“He can play in any team in the world; he's that high level.
“His physicality is amazing, his shot-stopping is amazing, he can come for crosses, he's good with the ball at his feet. He has got everything he needs to be a top goalkeeper; the only thing he lacks is games.
“But obviously he's been building those the last couple of years.
“It was a big call (to make him number one) because Maty (Ryan) was an experienced Premier League goalkeeper. But Robert's potential high level is incredible and we've got to help him reach his maximum.
“He's not there yet, but that's just time. He's fantastic."
