Liverpool legend Graeme Souness questions Jurgen Klopp's decision to sign Alisson for £65m

Graeme Souness believes there should be a 'question mark' over the ability of Liverpool's new £65 million goalkeeper Alisson.

Following Loris Karius' nightmare performance in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, plus a series of errors during pre-season, Jurgen Klopp took the decision to sign the 25-year-old from Roma this summer.

Klopp has already made Alisson his first-choice goalkeeper ahead of the new campaign and the Brazil intentional impressed in the 5-0 win over Napoli on Sunday.

But Souness has voiced his doubts due to Alisson's track record at Roma in Serie A.

'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.'
