Former Liverpool goalkeeper Chris Kirkland believes Alisson Becker could be the signing to win the club the Premier League title.

The Roma goalkeeper returned to Italy on a private jet on Thursday night after undergoing a medical with his prospective new employers ahead of a £67m move to Anfield.

"He [Alisson] is calm, he's got great distribution from the back and he's got a good record at Roma," Kirkland told Sky Sports News.

"He was very reliable [at Roma] which you need in this Premier League but it is going to be tough for him. There will be big pressure on him when he comes to Liverpool but there is one thing for sure the fans will give him all the support he needs.

"We'll see [if he proves to be one of the signings of the summer]. I've been a Liverpool fan all my life since I was eight years old, so hopefully he will be the last piece of the jigsaw."
