Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli has declared Alisson as the best in the world.

Speaking with fans in a social media Q&A, Consigli was asked which goalkeeper was the best in the world - and the best of all time.

Consigli nominated Liverpool No1 Alisson and Juventus veteran Gigi Buffon.

"From the past I say Buffon because we grew up with his example, a 17 year old boy who has become a phenomenon," he replied.

"In the present I say Alisson because he covers spaces, plays with his feet and is very strong between the posts."
