The way forward for a number of gamers at Liverpool has been a outstanding theme of dialog amongst Reds supporters in latest weeks and months, and one man who’d been strongly linked with an exit has now addressed questions on his state of affairs at Anfield.
For a lot of the summer time switch window, there was hypothesis that Caoimhin Kelleher would transfer on from Merseyside, and Nottingham Forest put in an unsuccessful bid simply earlier than the 30 August deadline.
The goalkeeper has made clear on more than one occasion that he’s keen to determine himself as an undisputed first alternative, one thing he hasn’t managed with LFC as a result of brilliance of Alisson Becker.
Kelleher not weighing up Liverpool future
Kelleher is having fun with one other sustained spell within the Liverpool beginning XI with the Brazilian out injured, and he spoke to the media on Monday forward of tomorrow night time’s Champions League conflict towards Bayer Leverkusen.
When requested whether or not he’s at present eager about his personal future, the 25-year-old replied: “It’s not in my pondering in the meanwhile, to be trustworthy, no. It’s fairly early on within the season. My focus is on enjoying properly; if I’m eager about the longer term and various things like that, it’s not going to assist my sport.
“I have to be clear mentally to play properly, in order that’s not coming into my pondering in the meanwhile, to be trustworthy.”
Will this be Kelleher’s remaining season at Liverpool?
Kelleher hasn’t been gradual to voice his desire to grow to be a first-choice elsewhere, so he seems to have modified his tune in latest weeks, maybe attributable to him having fun with a run of begins whereas Alisson is out injured.
What we will say for sure is that he’s as soon as once more stepping up commendably in Liverpool’s hour of want, making a fine save to stop Georginio Rutter from doubling Brighton’s lead within the first half on Saturday earlier than the Reds finally prevailed 2-1.
Nonetheless, with the Irishman turning 26 later this month and with Giorgi Mamardashvili coming to Anfield subsequent 12 months, there nonetheless appears a definite risk that he’ll search to maneuver on looking for the assured first-choice standing that his skills deserve.
We’re simply glad that Kelleher remains to be an LFC participant for this season, and Arne Slot have to be extremely glad that the hierarchy didn’t money in on the Cork native through the summer time.
