Alisson is the best goalkeeper in the PL

The Gunners goalkeeper Bernd Leno says his Liverpool counterpart Alisson is the best in the Premier League. The Brazilian has made a considerable impression at Anfield since two years ago, his record-breaking £65 million (85 million dollars). Transfer from AS Roma amounted to Taking over Loris Karius following his disastrous performance in the 2018 Champions League final. Alisson helped transform Liverpool’s backline. This season, Jurgen Klopp’s side lost only 21 goals in 29 league games, while Leicester and Sheffield United were the only other parties to manage less than 30. Leno had no doubt when asked by journalists who were the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. “For me, this is understandable, it’s Alisson,” said the German. “He’s good at everything, and his stats are also excellent.

He is far behind this achievement

“He played several big games for Liverpool, and it’s clear to me that he is the best goalkeeper at the moment. Liverpool have conceded the least goals to any other Premier League team this season, and Alisson is far behind this achievement.” Liverpool “received a reminder of life without a Brazilian when Alisson was injured for their Champions League defeat to Atletico de Madrid in March. Deputy goalkeeper Adrian had performed very well when Alisson was expelled at the beginning of the season. Still, against Atletico, an unconvincing performance contributed home 3-2 defeat of his side and exit from the competition. It seems that Alisson has largely overcome comparisons with compatriot Ederson to be the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. Now, along with such as Manuel Neuer, Jan Oblak, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen, many consider him as the best in the world.

Liverpool legend Bruce Grobbelaar agree. At the beginning of this month, he said: “This guy Alisson is the best goalkeeper in the world today. He has an incredible record with his angles. He’s the best for that. For me, I always look at goalkeepers and can choose where errors are, but he is a fantastic No.1. “Since myself and several others, like Pepe Reina, we haven’t had a goalkeeper who would command his area, like Alisson.”
