5 stars who seem destined for the Premier League this summer

#2 Alisson

Roma goalkeeper Alisson has had a fantastic season

Brazil and Roma’s #1 goalkeeper, Alisson has had a fantastic season as his club have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, upsetting Barcelona along the way. He’s kept 14 clean sheets in Serie A action and has conceded just 26 goals along the way – the third-best statistics in Italy – and at just 25 years old, the likelihood is that his best years are still ahead of him.

Former Roma and Italy goalkeeper Paolo Conti has already labelled him the best keeper in the world right now – claiming that his anticipation of the moves of his opponents and his positional skills mean he doesn’t need to perform spectacular saves. Conti also suggested that it’d be impossible to set a market value for him – but the riches of the Premier League might change that idea swiftly.

Sure, Roma have claimed that Alisson is not for sale – going as far as to state that they are “not a supermarket” – but, realistically, money is the only language in football that everyone understands and the word is that Liverpool – who ironically face Roma in the Champions League semis – are ready to part with £52m to bring the Brazilian to Anfield. With both Chelsea and Manchester United being reportedly interested too, it seems like only a matter of time before the keeper finds his way to the Premier League.
