Alisson's incredible Premier League season so far

The 67m Liverpool paid Roma for the Brazilian was anew world-record fee for a goalkeeper, comfortably surpassing the 35m Manchester City paid for Ederson.And he’s proved so far that he was worth every single penny of that mega transfer fee with some quite stunning stats below! 16 games85.71% save percentage36 saves10 clean sheets6 goals conceded 0 defeats“So is Van Dijk the biggest impact on that team? No he’s not.Look at the stats: 86 per cent save ratio the highest in the league. Last season it was 64 per cent (ranked 19th).Yes, the two young lads alongside Van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez are fantastic and I love watching them play. But for me its the goalkeeper [Alisson] who has made all the difference and makes them genuine contenders.”The Reds face Napoli in a crucial Champions League clash tonight, before entertaining arch-rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
