150 Liverpool have been absolutely fantastic in the transfer market in recent years.
The likes of Diogo Jota, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister have all proven to be incredible signings, but if you go a bit further back, you’ll find some of the best signings in Premier League history.
Indeed, the likes of Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk were incredibly transformative signings, but speaking on Liverpool’s official YouTube channel, Ray Houghton has named Alisson Becker as perhaps the most transformative signing at Liverpool in recent years.
Alisson transformative
Houghton shared his verdict on the £67m man.
‘Do you remember a time where a new player came through the door and it injected a new life into us?” Houghton was asked.
“More recently, Alisson and Virgil would be the two that I would look at. There was a hindrance with Liverpool not winning and it was down to the goalkeeper at times not being at the level needed, but Alisson has been so good, so consistent, season on season and he gives such confidence to the back four. How many attacks does he start? That’s the difference,” Houghton said.
What a signing
This has been one of the very best signings in Premier League history.
As many Liverpool fans will remember, Loris Karius cost the Reds a Champions League title towards the end of his time at Anifeld, and to react by signing arguably the best goalkeeper the Premier League has ever seen was a huge statement.
Alisson has been absolutely incredible since joining Liverpool, and if the Reds are to win major trophies this year, the Brazilian will have a huge part to play in that.
