Brazil International, Alisson Becker's deal to Liverpool for an estimated £66.9 million initially broke the transfer record for a goalkeeper. With a record transfer came huge aspirations and mounting pressure as he was touted to be the perfect player to complete Klopp's master plan. With the expectations of the Kop, Alisson Becker replied emphatically. With 10 clean sheets in the Premier League, Alisson leads the charts for most clean sheets and has easily been the best goalkeeper in a league that boasts of David De Gea and Hugo Lloris.

Apart from a mishap against Leicester City, Alisson has been assured on the ball and his ball playing abilities has added another dimension to an already-rampant Liverpool side. His save to deny Arkadiusz Milik for point-blank range against Napoli in a do or die match was magical. Performances against Chelsea and Manchester City and a total of 36 saves in the Premier League have enhanced his reputation has one of the best shot-stoppers in the world. With Alisson in the side, Klopp might be able to bring the Kop their first Premier League title in ages.
