Liverpool hero faces clear transfer choice that Jurgen Klopp will not like

Caoimhin Kelleher has been part of the Liverpool senior set-up since 2019, having joined the academy in 2015.

As he plays in his fifth season for the club, he has featured in a total of 23 fixtures, with only five appearances in the Premier League. If he wants his club and international career to evolve, he must leave Liverpool.

Kelleher has been fantastic when called upon for the Reds, but he will never be the first-choice keeper at the club due to the world-class star occupying that spot in the shape of Alisson.

Kelleher is a talented goalkeeper and has improved while at the club, but he will never be able to achieve a status like his Liverpool colleague unless he is playing regularly in a top division for a top club.

Many rumours circulated over the summer about the future of the Irish keeper and about his potential exit from the club to join the likes of Tottenham Hotspur before Guglielmo Vicario joined or to replace David Raya at Brentford, but Kelleher remained at the Merseyside club.

Jurgen Klopp and the fans would have been disappointed to lose such a good deputy in their squad, but both parties would have understood the decision for him to leave. Kelleher has long been touted as having the potential to be a top keeper, but that is all it has been: potential.

To realise this and demonstrate just how impressive he is, Kelleher needs to leave Anfield and kickstart his career.
