Alisson has become one of the household names in modern football since his big move from Italian side AS Roma.
Liverpool forked out a mammoth £66.9m to secure the services of Alisson before the beginning of the 2018/2019 season.
He quickly established himself as Liverpool’s first-choice keeper displacing the likes of Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet.
Alisson helped Liverpool secure their sixth European trophy in 2019 and was part of the Reds’ team that brought the Premier League trophy to Anfield for the first time last season.
Alisson won the English top-flight’s Golden Glove, UEFA, and FIFA Goalkeeper of the Year awards for his exploits for both club and country last year.
“Alisson is one of the best in the world,” Westerveld told Planet Football.
“To do that you have to be good at everything and have no weak points. You have to dominate your box and have great reflexes.
“He’s big and he has this aura around him. He has confidence and the way he plays out with his feet is just amazing to watch. There are only a few goalkeepers at the moment who are so complete.
“Great goalkeepers make saves in decisive moments, not when you’re losing 4-0. He makes saves when you’re winning 1-0 and that wins you the game.
“I think he’s the perfect goalkeeper for Liverpool right now."
