Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has described Reds teammate Kostas Tsimikas as a “fantastic” footballer and person.
The Liverpool stopper sung his colleague’s praises to Premier League Productions, saying he’s an absolute joy to work with.
Tsimikas has been at Liverpool since August 2020, when he joined the Reds from Olympiakos in a deal reportedly worth around £12million.
The 27-year-old has been a useful squad player for Jurgen Klopp, often deputising for Andrew Robertson.
To date, Tsimikas has made 71 appearances for Liverpool, also notching up 14 assists in red.
He went into the international break on a high note, registering two assists for the Reds in a 3-0 win over Brentford.
As well as stepping up on the pitch, Tsimikas is a hugely popular player in the Liverpool dressing room.
Alisson said: “He’s a lovely guy. I think he brings so much joy to our team every day here.
“It’s a pleasure for me to work together here with him.
“Not talking about his qualities as a player, he is a fantastic player as well; top skills, but as a person [he’s] even better.”

It’s so good to hear Tsimikas earn praise from his teammates not only for his playing skills, but as a person.
Camaraderie is important in any club’s dressing room. You need to have the right characters, and Tsimikas certainly fits the bill.
With Robertson out of contention, the Greece international has stepped up and will look to continue to do so as Liverpool aim for glory following a tricky season last time out.
