Paul Robinson advised Caoimhin Kelleher to leave Liverpool

A number of Liverpool players face uncertain futures at the club.

Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold have all entered the final year of their contracts at the club.

But apart from them, another player's long-term future at Anfield is under the spotlight.

Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is currently in the club's starting line-up, but once Alisson returns to fitness he will drop to the bench.

A goalkeeper of his level warming the bench is unfair and that is why Kelleher has been advised to leave the Premier League leaders next summer.

Football expert Paul Robinson believes Kelleher has been Liverpool's star this season and believes he should leave the club in order to get more game time.

“I was asked to rank the three best goalkeepers in the Premier League this season, and Kellher was my number one,” he said Football Insider.

“It’s very hard to be number two goalkeeper, the mentality is very different.

“No matter what you do in training, you know you're not going to play every week, especially when you're playing someone like Alisson.

“You can have the best training week of your life, but if Alisson is fit, he plays.

“No matter what Kelleher does between now and Alisson comes back, when he comes back, he plays.

“It’s a very difficult life for a number two. He has been exceptional this season, but he understands his role.

“Next year I think he wants to be number one. With the opportunities he's had and his age, he doesn't want to compete with Mamardashvili or be on the bench.

“It’s his time to go to another club and be the number one goalkeeper.

“So, Liverpool fans, enjoy it while you have it because I think he will move on at the end of this season.”

Caoimhin Kelleher to leave Liverpool for bigger role

With Liverpool already signing goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili who will join the club next summer and due to the presence of Alisson in addition, it will be difficult for Kelleher to start next season.

He will have no shortage of offers once he decides to leave the Merseyside club for more playing time.

A goalkeeper of his quality deserves to play week in week out and unfortunately for him, that won't be possible at Anfield.

Journalist David Ornstein has already confirmed that Kelleher likely to be sold by Premier League giants at the end of the season.

“Caoimhin Kelleher is probably the most likely to be sold given he will be in the final year of his contract this summer.”
