Top 5 goalkeepers Liverpool should look at to replace Simon Mignolet

Burnley v Liverpool - Premier League
Simon Mignolet may be facing more competition soon

#1 Alisson

AS Roma v Chelsea FC - UEFA Champions League
Alisson is in excellent form for AS Roma this season.

Alisson officially completed his transfer to Italian Serie A side Roma in July 2016, from Brazilian club Internacional. According to Squawka, the Brazilian is averaging 2.71 saves per game and makes 3.56 saves per goal.

The numbers immediately stand out, as he’s making almost three times as many saves per goal as Mignolet (averaging 1.21). The 25-year-old is currently even keeping Ederson out of the no.1 spot at the Brazilian national team.

He possesses outstanding reflexes and shot-stopping ability. Additionally, he is very difficult to beat in one-on-one situations. He is also efficient with the ball at feet, meaning he’d probably suit Liverpool’s style of play.

Standing at 192cm, Alisson commands his area very well. He also seems more adept than the Reds current goalkeepers, when it comes to collecting crosses inside his penalty area, an ability which is invaluable in the English top flight.

So far, Alisson has represented Brazil's national team 22 times. Despite Ederson’s performances since moving to Manchester City in the summer, Alisson has stayed ahead of him in the pecking order for the Selecao.

The goalkeeper is heavily linked with Liverpool at the moment. he is a better goalkeeper than Mignolet and Karius and for a reported price tag of £44 million, especially considering the money Liverpool received from Barcelona for the transfer of Coutinho, his signing could solve Klopp's defensive problems for good.
