Wales manager John Toshack says he is delighted with his two goalkeepers, who are battling it out in a tussle for the Dragons’ number one jersey.

Wayne Hennessey, the Wolves keeper and current number one, is being pushed all the way by rival Boaz Myhill.

The Hull stopper burst onto the international scene in March this year and has made 13 caps for Toshack’s side, and the manager is pleased with the competition provided by The Tigers first choice.  

He told BBC Sport: “Boaz is a terrific character and doing very well playing in the Premier League with Hull,”

“Wayne has doing nothing wrong and Boaz understands the situation, he has taken up the challenge and is pushing Wayne,”

“Now it’s up the pair of them, it’s a nice position for us because we can sit back and let them battle it out between them themselves,” he added.

“I’m very happy with the both of them.”

Toshack also believes Hennessey is good enough to play in the Premier League and revealed clubs are interested in the highly-rated youngster, which could stoke further transfer talk regarding his availability.

Arsenal and Tottenham have both been linked with the 21-year-old, meanwhile it was rumoured Everton were tracking his progress last season.

“Wayne has been outstanding for us and he is certainly up to Premier League standard,” Toshack said.

“I know Mick (McCarthy, Wolves manager) has used the other Wolves goalkeepers quite a bit and I know a few clubs are interest in Wayne,”

“Maybe if he is not performing regularly, there could be a move for him in the pipeline.”

Hennessy shot to prominence in 2007 whilst on loan at Stockport County, where he kept nine consecutive clean sheets, breaking a Football League record.

At the weekend veteran goalkeeper Brad Friedal wrote his name in the Premier League history books. The Aston Villa stopper stole David James’s great record for the longest run of consecutive top-flight games when he racked up his 167 game with his clean sheet against London club Fulham.

As a recognition of Friedel’s achievement, the sun online this week picked their Top 10 keepers playing in the Premier League right now. So i have done the same and picked my top 10 goalkeepers of the Premier League right now. With so many top class Goalkeepers around it’s going to be a hard task.

The Sun online picked:

10: Joe Hart, 9: Mark Schwarzer, 8: Jussi Jaaskelainen, 7: Robert Green, 6: Brad Friedel, 5: Edwin Van Der Sar, 4: David James, 3, Shay Given, 2: Pepe Reina, 1: Petr Cech

My top 10: 

No10: Robert Green: Wears Sells Adhesion Ultra Wrap Aqua

Green has been in fine form this term, his performances for West Ham have been so impressive since his move to the London Club 3 seasons ago. I find it hard to see why the England Manager Fabio Capello ignores him when naming most squads. Is it time Rob got his chance in the England set up on a regular basis? 

 No9: Edwin van der Sar:  Wears Adidas Fingersave

The big dutch man was a great signing by Sir Alex Ferguson when he signed him from Fulham. Manchester United’s first pair of safe hands since Schmeichel. His save from Nicolas Anelka’s penalty also won United the Champions League last season. Edwin is now coming to the end of his days at United but i am more than sure big Ben Foster will follow in his footsteps. Maybe Edwin will go on to coach the keepers at United! If we were doing this list a season ago i would of had Van Der Sar in the top 4 but for now it is 9th.

 No8: Mark Schwarzer: Wears: Uhlsport Cerberus Absloutgrip Moulded

Great goalkeeper, one i have always liked and one to watch. He is now in his 13th season in England, Mark Schwarzer made a surprise summer switch to Fulham after a decade between the sticks at Middlesbrough.  The veteran Australian has taken over at Fulham for the newly retired Antti Niemi. So far he has only let in 11 goals in his opening 14 league games with the Cottagers.

 No7: Brad Friedel: Wears Adidas Fingertip

For me now one of the finest Goalkeepers in the Premier league. At the tender age of 37 Friedel is loving life at Aston Villa. Liverpool decided to purchase his contract from the Crew for £1.7 million in 1997 after being impressed by his performances. Playing just over 30 games he went to Blackburn where he has made his name as one of the finest overseas goalkeepers to grace the Premier League.

 No6: David James: Wears HO Mega Pro Series

Less than two years off his 40th birthday, HO soccer’s top endorsed David James continues to shine. The Pompy stopper has re-established himself as England’s No1 thanks to his Fratton Park form. As a Southampton fan i find it hard to talk about Portsmouth in anyway!!!!!! but James has been hell of a signing for them. Working with David Coles who i know from his days at Southampton as goalkeeping coach has been a great help and you can see that in James’s game, quick, agaile are just a few of James’s many qualities.

No5: Joe Hart: Wears Umbro Goalkeeper Gloves

Joe will go on and become the England number one, this is only my view, but the young keeper gets better and better, his main threat to the England number one jersey will be Ben Foster, if he fails to make the grade at Manchester United and fails to get any run of games between now and the 2010 World Cup he will miss out to Joe in boarding the plane to South Africa. There are many top talented young English keepers in the Premier League but it looks as though Joe could be the next big thing. The Manchester City keeper has profited from the failing of some of the other young stoppers and for me will be the next future England No1.

 No4: Pepe Reina: Wears: Adidas Response Pro E7S

Few goakeeping freaks like myself had not heard of Reina when he signed from Villarreal for £6m in 2005. And what a signing the Spaniard has been! Ever since his move he has been faultless and this can very often be said for a goalkeeper playing his trade at the very highest level. 

 No3: Chris Kirkland: Wears Adidas Fingertip

At only 27 year’s of age it feel as though Kirkland has been around for years. The tall stopper has been in fine form this season and for me has to be in the top 3 keepers around right now. He made his debut in the League Cup against Tranmere Rovers while playing at Coventry. Chris went on to sign for Liverpool where he had a number of injury’s and found it hard to break in to the 1st team. Now at Wigan, Kirkland is now showing all the promise that was spoke about back in his early days as a young keeper. Every time i’ve seen the stopper this year i think and feel he has been one of the best around. Chris is still playing on through a problem with a disc in his back, he told England Goalkeeping coach Ray Clemence he is not available for England selection at the moment he says “During this pre-season I stood up in the dressing room and slipped a disc in my back” “Some days I can barely walk. I have injections to kill the pain and reduce inflammation. “Sometimes I don’t train all week, but play on Saturday. You can’t do that with England.” Kirkland will undergo a new training regime that will focus on strengthening his back, as opposed to the strenuous, repetitive shot-stopping exercises which some feel have caused many of his problems.

 No2: Shay Given: Wears: Puma V Konstrukt

One of the best around for me. Not only a top bloke but also a top stopper. Newcastle’s number 1 has been regarded as one of the world’s greatest goalkeepers by Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni. Shay’s has never had a easy time of it at Newcastle, as the sun said “the majority of defenders in front of him have been so poor that they should have been relegated years ago” Shay after a bad run of 2 season’s is now back on fire at Newcastle, one of the main reasons they have began to pick up points and wins again has been down to the form of Shay. I’m sure once the window opens in January one of the top clubs will come calling. 

 No1: Petr Cech: Wears: Adidas Response Pro E7S

Has to be the best! The Chelsea stopper Cech is a giant. Since his move to Chelsea he has brought so much class with him, for any young keeper in the game Cech is the one to watch and learn. With fantasic handling, footwork and strength there is no better around in Europe. There is also so much to be said about the way he bounced back from his horrific head injury at Reading two years ago. If Cech now stays fit for the rest of Chelsea’s Champions League campain Chelsea could well go on and lift the Champions League in Rome next may.

Gomes has been guilty of a series of errors and Parks has been brought in to replace Hans Leitert, with his appointment set to be confirmed when his release is agreed from his Football Association coaching role.

Redknapp will keep faith with Gomes when Spurs face Blackburn on Sunday at White Hart Lane, then Parks, along with Perry Suckling, will work on rebuilding the confidence of the club’s summer signing.

”You need people around here you know,” Redknapp said. ”The coach from Austria was a top coach but I felt I needed someone who knew the English game really well.

”Tony Parks is a terrific personality, he played for Tottenham and saved the penalty in the UEFA Cup final (in 1984).

”He has worked for the FA for the last seven years. I spoke to (FA football development director) Sir Trevor Brooking about him and he’s a fantastic goalkeeper coach. Everyone I spoke to said he was world class.

”It was a change I felt I needed to make.”

Redknapp feels Parks can get Gomes to command his defenders with more authority, rather than come out and try to claim every cross.

”He’ll be a big help. Tony is a talker - enthusiastic and lively,” Redknapp added. ”He’s just trying to get him confident.

”Guus Hiddink (former PSV Eindhoven coach) talks about Gomes as a world-class goalkeeper, and he (Hiddink) took them to a European Cup final. There is not a goalkeeper in the world who doesn’t make mistakes.

”I’m sure he’ll come back stronger than ever.”

Redknapp hopes Gomes will return to form to save him from having to spend money on a replacement in the January transfer window.

”Hopefully he’ll show us,” he said. ”Whoever brought him here did their homework and obviously he is a world-class goalkeeper. You don’t let (Paul) Robinson go if you don’t have a top goalkeeper to come in.”

Bosnich was due to fly out to Los Angeles after completing his guest stint with the Mariners last month but ultimately decided it was not in his best career interests to take part in the documentary.

The 36-year-old, who made his name as a champion custodian after a decade-long stint in the top flight of English football with Aston Villa, Manchester United and Chelsea, admitted some timely advice from those closest to him helped sway him.

“I didn’t end up going and doing it, and I decided against it as I didn’t think it was right to go,” Bosnich told the Herald . “No disrespect to anyone or to the people behind it, but it wasn’t the right time. My family and quite a few friends voiced their concerns, so in the end I decided against it because there’s no need to go into all that.”

Now heavily focused on making a full comeback to football, Bosnich admits he can wait until his career has concluded before he contemplates whether or not to go down the tell-all path.

“Of course I want to play, it’s something I really want to do. That’s another reason why I didn’t do the doco as well,” he said. “I don’t think, if I’m serious about playing, you can’t be going off and doing documentaries like that. That’s for a time maybe at the end of your career, or if ever at all.”

Without a club and staying with relatives in Sydney’s north, Bosnich sought permission from Sydney FC coach John Kosmina to join in at training with the aim of getting himself into peak fitness for the Oceania All Stars exhibition match against David Beckham’s LA Galaxy in Auckland next month.

“‘Kossie’ is one of the people I’ve known longest in football, and I needed to train for the game against LA Galaxy, so I asked him could I come down and to help keep myself in shape,” he said.

“After I rang him up he said no problems, and everyone from the kit man to the physio to the players has been great. That game is on December 6, so that’s the immediate goal, and then we’ll see what happens from there.”

Bosnich said his fitness had not dropped away too badly since leaving the Mariners and offered plenty of credit to Sydney’s new goalkeeping coach, John Filan.

“Overall, my fitness is good, really good. I’m just happy to be down here and really thankful to Kossie, ‘Poppa’ [Tony Popovic] and Johnny and the rest of the staff for letting me come down here to get working.

“One of the biggest factors for me wanting to be here is to work with John Filan, who is a superb coach. In fact, he’s probably the best goalkeeping coach that I know and he’s a local to me.”

New boss Redknapp has terminated the contract of coach Hans Leitert and is thought to be keen on replacing him with Portsmouth and ex Southampton goalkeeping coach David Coles from his former clubs.

Gomes was again at fault for the opening goal in last weekend’s 2-1 defeat by Fulham at Craven Cottage, with Redknapp saying afterwards that ‘Hans has to get inside Gomes’s head’.

Austrian Leitert, who has agreed a settlement package with Spurs.

 Coach Coles while at Southampton

David Coles has widely credited with England No1 David James’s return to form during his time at Portsmouth.

Coles has a good track record bring the best out of keepers during his time at Southampton and Posrtsmouth, helping Antti Niemi and Paul Jones flourish. He also oversaw the progress of Nottingham Forest’s Paul Smith. 

However, Pompey chief executive Peter Storrie and manager Tony Adams are likely to put up a fight to hold on to the 44-year-old goalkeeping coach.

Gomes joined Spurs from PSV Eindhoven this summer in a £7.8 million pund move but has so far struggled to regain the form which won him international recognition.

Redknapp has also recalled reserve keeper Ben Alnwick from a loan spell at Carlisle.

great-save.com had the chance to send time with Coles while at Southampton, read our interview with Coles by clicking here

The veteran Italian coach recommended the Newcastle and Ireland No 1, named as stand-in captain for his country’s friendly with Poland tonight, to at least three top Serie A clubs.

Trapattoni said: ‘I speak to two or three big managers who are my friends and they ask if I think Given can play in Italy with them. ‘With his personality and quality, I feel he is as good as Gianluigi Buffon Shay is one of the best keepers in the world.’

Hart has been sidelined for up to a month after picking up an ankle ligament injury in Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Hull City on Sunday.

Coach Fabio Capello has decided to go with the Blackburn Rovers star, who is now wearing his own designed Sells Contour goalkeepers gloves.

Robinson has shown some top form in recent weeks and he has been rewarded with a recall to the squad.

He made his last appearance in an England shirt last October in the Euro 2008 qualifying defeat to Russia, and will link up with David James and Scott Carson in the squad for the clash in Berlin.
