#1 Alisson Becker (AS Roma to Liverpool)
The record transfer for a goalkeeper (Liverpool paid £66.5m), Alisson is one player whose performances will be greatly scrutinized.

The Brazilian number one has had a stellar rise to the top. Originally signed for £6m from Brazilian club Internacional by the Roman club, he was understudy to Polish international Wojciech Szczesny in the 2016/2017 season.
Following the Pole’s move to Juventus, the Brazilian took over as Roma’s first choice and he had a blinder of a season.
His performances for his club and the Selecao of Brazil convinced Liverpool and its manager Jurgen Klopp that he was the right choice to replace the error-prone Lloris Karius.
Alisson is a goalkeeper who is vocal and not shy about commanding his area. It is expected that alongside record defensive signing Virgil Van Dijk, they would both bring order and calm to a Liverpool backline that has been poor for a while now.
His reflexes, agility, passing abilities and pace off his line make him the perfect candidate to keep the goal in Klopp’s gegenpressing system which is heavily reliant on players’ constant movement.
