One person who knows Giorgi Mamardashvili quite well has made a bold prediction which could add to Liverpool fans’ excitement about what the goalkeeper can produce at Anfield.
The 23-year-old, who will spend this season on loan at Valencia before moving to Merseyside in the summer, has officially signed with the Reds. The massive stopper’s transfer to LFC has thrilled Georgia assistant coach David Webb, who thinks it will help him become one of the best players in the world at his position.
The 44-year-old said moving to Liverpool will help him kick on even further. He’ll probably go on to be one of the top three or four goalkeepers in the world.”
It’s certainly a lofty claim to make about Mamardashvili, but it perfectly sums up the vast ceiling that Liverpool’s first signing of the current transfer window appears to have.
The Reds already have a sure-fire contender for the world’s best goalkeeper in Alisson Becker, who aside from the very occasional error has been consistently top-class since arriving at Anfield six years ago, and taking over from him will be no easy task whenever he leaves.
However, LFC have put their faith in the Georgian to succeed in that mission, and the performances he gave at Euro 2024 indicate that, if he can reach those levels over a prolonged period, he’d definitely be regarded as one of the foremost players in his position.
Caoimhin Kelleher, whose performances in red suggest he’d waltz into most Premier League line-ups, has had to play second fiddle to Alisson and has now been neglected again until Mamardashvili comes, which speaks volumes about the strength of Liverpool’s goalkeeping department. Adversarial teams must be envious of our strength in that position!
