‘If Liverpool win the league, he will be the signing of the window' - Alisson backed to deliver on £67m fee

The Reds' new goalkeeper is being tipped to be the catalyst for a title challenge after an impressive summer of transfer business at Anfield

Liverpool’s signing of Alisson is a big ‘lift’ for the club ahead of the new Premier League season, according to the club’s former captain Phil Thompson.

Alisson arrived at Anfield from Roma this summer for a then-record fee of £67m ($86m), making him the most expensive goalkeeper in football. The Brazilian shot-stopper has spent the summer on international duty in Russia for the World Cup, impressing as Tite’s number one during the Selecao’s run to the quarter-finals.
