Top 10 Goalkeepers in Football during the 2017-18 Season

#7 Alisson Becker - AS Roma

England vs Brazil - International Friendly

Not many know of Alisson's feats in 2017, but post the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, the AS Roma goalkeeper could be a household name. This is a man who is keeping out the most expensive goalkeeper in the world for Brazil, and it may even be deserved.

Most Brazilians explain Alisson's #1 role for the Selecao as an outcome of manager's Tite's loyalty, but that does the former Internacional custodian a grave injustice. Becker took over from Szczesny for Roma and has not looked back, becoming a vital member of Eusebio di Francesco's preference for playing out from the back.

Alisson.Roma picked up a GK with two great seasons under his belt. But he's gone even better this season with only conceding 11 goals out of the almost 17 post shot xG. No matter how good he is that rate is not sustainable to the end of the season. But he's obviously great. pic.twitter.com/mvv9b9xCEx

Alisson's penchant for pulling off one-on-one saves has bailed Roma out multiple times this season, and his numbers prove that he is a keeper who is improving at an exponential rate.

Keep it up, and a World Cup medal might be his soon enough.
