EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool coach John Achterberg sends message to Loris Karius ahead of Manchester United vs Newcastle

Much has been made about Liverpool’s need for midfield reinforcements this summer, but little attention has been paid to the club’s goalkeeping situation.

Alisson Becker will of course remain the Reds’ starting keeper next season, while Adrian is likely to depart as a free agent and Caoimhin Kelleher may well be weighing up whether the time is right to move on.

Nobody can question the performances put in by the Republic of Ireland international in a Liverpool shirt, which is ironically part of the problem. Such is the level Kelleher has shown between the sticks, a number of clubs may be considering making a permanent move for the 24-year-old. The Reds will certainly be in no rush to offload the Cork-born keeper, though the player himself may no longer wish to play the role of Alisson’s understudy as he attempts to establish himself as a first-choice option.
