His compatriot, Ederson, had a wonderful debut season with Manchester City and even clinched the Premier League trophy. However, that has not stopped the Brazil team from deciding that Alisson will be the country's first choice representative in the competition. In his second season at Roma, Alisson has become particularly influential and dominant between the posts.

According to Squawka, the 34 appearances made in Serie A, Alisson kept 15 clean sheets and conceded an average of 0.79 goals per match. In the process, he has made 3.49 saves per goal and boasts a distribution accuracy of 83%. His claim success stands at a high of 90% which makes him one of the most reliable keepers in the world.

Playing in Russia will be a time for Alisson to make a name for himself. He has already attracted lots of attention from Premier League clubs, with Liverpool extremely keen to sign him. After his impressive season with Roma, everyone will be watching him perform on a world stage and he will hopefully be a joy to watch.
