Ex-Liverpool goalkeeper Chris Kirkland has lauded Alisson after watching him training for Liverpool.
According to Kirkland, who played for us between 2001 and 2006, our Brazilian stopper is the best he’s ever seen in the flesh – some compliment from an England international.
Kirkland told talkSPORT, cited in the Star: “I’ve been lucky enough to be down at the training ground a couple of times and he’s the only goalkeeper I’ve watched and gone, ‘Wow’.
“I walked away and I was purring when I got home.
“I was smiling because I’d just seen an incredible session from him.”
Alisson arrived from AS Roma in the summer of 2018 and has been nothing short of a revelation between our sticks.

With the 26-year-old in goal, Liverpool have the best defensive record of any club in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
Virgil van Dijk has played an enormous part in that, too.
