A US actress with more or less the same name as Liverpool target Alisson Becker has sent Twitter into meltdown.

Liverpool are reportedly keen to bring in a new goalkeeper, with Brazil and AS Roma goalkeeper Alisson a logical target.

Alisson is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe right now and was the first-choice Brazil stopper at the World Cup in Russia.

News emerged on Tuesday that the Reds have tabled £62 million bid for Alisson, who would become the most expensive shot stopper in history if the deal goes through.

​​With his potential move solving a long-standing goalkeeping problem in the Liverpool side, fans are getting excited over the prospect of the 25-year-old joining the club.

And with Twitter ablaze with speculation and updates on the mega deal, US actress Alison Becker - best known for her role in the hit comedy show Parks and Recreation - decided to have a bit of fun at the expense of Liverpool supporters.
