“I have always thought he was a good keeper. He thrives on confidence and is benefiting from getting continual games. He has got the confidence he is going to be playing in most games. He isn’t making mistakes.
“He is thriving and I just hope that we can sign him, to be honest, because you won’t see many better keepers than him in the Premiership at the moment.”
