​Liverpool icon Souness: Alisson inexperience biggest question mark

Former Liverpool captain Graeme Souness about the 'inexperience' of the club's recent signing, Alisson.

The Reds paid Roma £67m for the Brazilian, the world-record fee for a goalkeeper. But Souness is not convinced it was the right move.

"A goalkeeper was clearly a priority and Liverpool have broken the world record for that position by signing Alisson from Roma for £67m," Souness wrote in his column for the Sunday Times.

"He played in Brazil and Portugal, then was initially kept out of the Roma team by Wojciech Szczesny, who found English football difficult at Arsenal.

"So he's not coming with 300-400 games at the highest level under his belt and, despite the fee, there has to be a question mark against him."
