The Brazilian was bought from Roma for a hefty price, because Liverpool were desperately lacking in the goalkeeping department last season. He was supposed to be the answer to their problems, and Alisson has impressed since making the move to Anfield. He has conceded just 6 goals in 10 games so far and has provided the stability that was required at the back for Liverpool.

In the Premier League, Alison has recorded 5 clean sheets in 8 games, conceding just 3 goals. He has made 18 saves, 4 sweeper clearances and has recorded 44 accurate long balls so far. However, he did commit that one error against Leicester City that led to a goal.
That did not affect his confidence too much though and neither did it impact his performances in the following games. Against Chelsea, Alisson was particularly impressive, stopping Hazard from doubling their lead and allowing Liverpool to make a come back to draw the match late in the game.
Alisson will be aiming to get his hands on the Golden Glove in his debut season in the Premier League and as of now, he is the front-runner for the trophy. Liverpool will be counting on him to have a stellar season, because he has been one of the top signings of this season.

Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over seven years at Sportskeeda. He has written more than 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 20 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
