Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool could struggle to sign Lloyd Kelly.
That is according to TEAMtalk, which has noted what Bournemouth’s plans are regarding Kelly.
So, what has been reported about Liverpool target Lloyd Kelly? Let’s take a look.
Liverpool face a problem in signing Lloyd Kelly
Well, according to TEAMTalk, Liverpool are interested in signing Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly. The report has noted that the defender is out of contract at the Cherries at the end of the season.
TEAMtalk has reported that Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United all are considering moves for Kelly, who was described as “an outstanding player” who has “got great potential” by then Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe in 2020.

According to TEAMtalk, Bournemouth have offered Kelly “a club-record deal in a bid to persuade him to sign a new contract”. They do not want to sell him in the middle of the season and are ready to make him “their highest-paid player”
Liverpool should bid for Lloyd Kelly in January
In my view, if Liverpool are really keen on Lloyd Kelly, then they should make a bid for him in the January transfer window.
After all, what have they got to lose? Other clubs, such as Tottenham Hotspur, are keen on the defender as well. Arsenal have also been linked.
We should trust the Liverpool recruitment team on the homework they would have done on the 25-year-old.
If the former Premier League champions are convinced that the defender will make the first team better, then I do not see any reason why the Reds should not launch a bid for him in January.
Kelly has made 40 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. The defender has given two assists and has kept eight clean sheets in those games.
