Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has revealed that Philippe Coutinho helped him decide to move to Anfield in the summer.
Alisson says that Coutinho spoke highly of the club and, in particular, Jurgen Klopp.
Coutinho left Liverpool to sign for Barcelona in January and, speaking to GOAL, this is what Alisson said about his input:
He spoke highly of Jurgen [Klopp, Liverpool manager] and about the players.
He said there is no vanity in the squad but it’s a very ambitious squad with a strong desire to win.
Coutinho also said he was very happy here with his family, which is really important. Our wives spoke to each other too and they said they had a great time living here, and we are very happy.
The Brazil number one joined Liverpool from Serie A side Roma in a deal thought to be worth in the region of £56m.
Despite making a mistake with the ball at his feet against Leicester, which led to Rachid Ghezzal scoring, Alisson has been impressive since his move to England.
The shot-stopper produced a number of fine stops to deny Chelsea in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge over the weekend.
