Liverpool paid up for Alisson in the summer.

Liverpool paid £67 million to sign goalkeeper Alisson from Roma last summer.

It was a huge fee, and the Brazilian has been worth every penny so far.

He has stabilised the club’s defence, quickly erasing uncertainty provided by former stoppers Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet.

Alisson is positive about his spell at Liverpool so far.

He credits the club’s fans for helping him settle at the club.

Alisson told Italian outlet Media Gol: “When I arrived here I felt the importance of the team for the fans.

“And then home is where the heart is, where the family is.

“My family is here now.”

Alisson won rave reviews at Roma last season and Liverpool’s move to sign him was a real coup.

If anything his performances at Liverpool have been underrated, with defender Virgil van Dijk taking most of the plaudits.

No team have conceded fewer Premier League goals than Liverpool, just 18 in 31 games.

The Reds must keep up their defensive resilience if they are to win the title.
