Alisson: Liverpool's history helped me choose them over Chelsea

Alisson has revealed that Liverpool's history played a part in his decision to join them instead of Chelsea.

The Brazilian became the world's most expensive goalkeeper this summer when he joined the Reds from Roma in a £65 million (€73m/$85m) move.

Alisson's title lasted less than a month, as Chelsea made Kepa Arrizabalaga the world's most expensive goalkeeper by landing the Spaniard from Athletic Bilbao for £72m (€80m/$92m) just weeks later.
