The man who recommended Alisson to Liverpool, Alexander Doni, is impressed at how quickly the Brazilian has settled in England.

Former Liverpool shot-stopper Alexander Doni has hailed the club's current goalkeeper Alisson as the best in the world.

"When I saw him play, I immediately recommended him to [goalkeeping coach] John [Achterberg] and tried to get him signed," Doni said.

"I explained to John that he was a very skilful player and that he would soon play for the national team.

"The first time I saw him playing for Inter, I knew he had what it takes to succeed in the Premier League."

Asked if Alisson was now the best goalkeeper in the world, Doni added: "Yes, without a doubt.

"I am very impressed with how quick he was able to adapt to the way the Premier League is played and how quick he obtained success in England.

"This only shows what a great player and a person he is. Besides being an overall complete player, I really like how he is able to maintain calm and control."
