The impact of Alex Paulsen

Wellington Phoenix FC Goalkeeper Alex Paulsen has been linked with a move away to Premier League clubs AFC Bournemouth, Chelsea and Liverpool.
The young 21 year New Zealand Goalkeeper has only played one full season in goal - and has already got the attention from some of the biggest clubs in world football.
Let's compare the stats from his full season to the previous number one at A-League side Wellington Phoenix: Oli Sail. An A-League veteran who has always been a solid performer for the club.
When we dive into the statistics we can see some amazing stats from Alex Paulsen who has outperfomed his predecessor in almost every metric.
Is it fully down to the young football talent? Or are there other forces at play behind the clubs success this season. Perhaps the new coach Giancarlo Italiano's interesting defensive tactics? Or a new sense of belief.
Let's take a look at some Alex Paulsen match highlights and full match performances and the statistics that come along with them.
Will he become a Premier League Goalkeeper, or be loaned back to Auckland FC - who are co-owned by AFC Bournemouth's owner Bill Foley. Only time will tell.

01:20 Incorrect. Paulsen started at least 2 games in 2021-22 when Sail was injured.

Good call. According to Futmob's stats he didn't have a single match last season. Which I know is wrong, but I do remember him coming on for Sail when he got injured. I don't recall him having any starts but hey! Could be wrong. Thanks for watching :)
