Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has a number of world-class players in his squad, and one of them is Alisson.

Alisson is one of the best goalkeepers on the planet. I think that the Liverpool and Brazil international is world class.

The £150,000-a-week (Spotrac) goalkeeper is one of the best in one-on-one situations. He is also very adept with his feet, can play out from the back, and can make pinpoint long-range passes.

Liverpool signed Alisson from AS Roma in the summer of 2018 for £67 million (Sky Sports). He was 25 at the time.

Darren Bent comments on Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson

Now, 31, Alisson has grown as a goalkeeper, and former Tottenham Hotspur striker Darren Bent has been hugely impressed.

The talkSPORT pundit thinks that if Liverpool were to sell the Brazilian, who is injured at the moment, then they could get £80 million in transfer fees.

Bent said about Alisson on talkSPORT: “His age. He is 31 years old, but goalkeepers can go on. I’m gonna say he goes for £70m, £80m.”

My View: Alisson has been a superb signing for Liverpool

In my opinion, Alisson has been one of the best signings for Liverpool in the Jurgen Klopp era.

Yes, he cost a lot of money, but he has proved that he has been worth every penny. I do not think that without Alisson in goal, Liverpool would have won the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Alisson is 31 now. He is at the top of his game and is not showing any signs of slowing down. I think that the goalkeeper will go down in Liverpool’s history as a legend of the club.

The Brazilian has made 194 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. Alisson has kept 85 clean sheets, scored one goal and provided three assists in those games.
