The New Jersey actress tweeted the news on Tuesday, telling her 18.1k followers that she was "Excited to announce that I will be joining Liverpool as a goalkeeper!"

Reds supporters quickly saw the funny side, retweeting the post over 5,000 times and liking it over 11,000 times within a hour of it being posted, even though some initially fell for it.

It's on!

Sadly, it does not appear as the reds will make Alison's dream a reality.

As for Alisson, Liverpool face competition from Chelsea for the 25-year-old, but stay confident that they can get the deal done.
