Pundit Richard Keys believes Liverpool’s capture of goalkeeper Alisson could propel them to win the 2018/19 Premier League title.

Alisson clinched his £67 million move to Liverpool from Roma on Thursday evening.

Goalkeeper has been Liverpool’s weak point for some time, and the club have signed a world class player to fix the problem.

Liverpool have already signed Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri this summer.

Keys believes Liverpool are best equipped to go on and challenge Manchester City to win the league next season.

After getting thrashed 5-0 by City at the start of last season, Liverpool turned the embarrassment around.

They beat City at Anfield in a thriller in January, and went onto knock them out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals.

Despite this, Liverpool could only finish fourth as their inconsistent league form saw them fail to mount a title challenge.

Better is expected this season, and if City slip up, they could stand the best chance of capitalising.
