When 25-year-old goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher was given the goalmouth duties during the period when Alisson Becker was out for a while this season, he responded to the call-up with his consistent play.
However, after the return of the club’s guardian deity, he was not available and continued to warm the bench for games.
With rumours of his departure from Anfield flying around every time the transfer window opens, he has decided to stay, but it is looking increasingly likely that a full transfer will be on the cards this summer. He is a keeper who would be a regular at any other Premier League club, and would be in great demand if he were to be sold.
In addition, third-choice goalkeeper Adrian is also set to leave Liverpool when his contract expires. Liverpool, who are looking for a goalkeeper who can act as a reserve and long-term rival to the Brazilian goalkeeper, are looking at England U-21 goalkeeper James Trafford, who plays for Burnley, according to Football Insider.
Although he has been dropped from the starting line-up in recent games, he has made 28 Premier League appearances, gaining experience at the top level of the league. He has also made 17 appearances for England U-21s and is steadily gaining experience on the international stage.
Liverpool, who are said to be scouting the player’s appearances on numerous occasions, need a goalkeeper they can rely on in front of goal. At the moment, however, it is not known whether they will make a move for him.
Villarreal goalkeeper Phillip Jorgensen and Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Paterson are among the names mentioned, and at least one will be welcomed into the team.
