# Alisson nominated for Ballon d’Or award

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has been nominated for the prestigious Ballon d’Or award.

[The official club website](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/320276-alisson-becker-liverpool-ballon-dor)have reported that France Football have listed the Brazilian as one of the first five nominated players.

Alisson joins Sergio Aguero, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Edinson Cavani on the list currently.

Players are being revealed throughout the day, with the list of nominees set to grow.

Alisson enjoyed a fantastic campaign last season with Roma that earned him a move to Anfield in the summer.

He helped the Giallorossi reach the Champions League semi-finals and has adapted to life in England very quickly, playing a key role in Liverpool’s early-season form.

Both Liverpool’s and Chelsea’s interest in signing the player over the summer was a testament of just how highly he performed in Italy last season.

Since joining Liverpool, he has cemented himself as the club’s number one and is among some of the first names on Jurgen Klopp’s team sheet each week.
