Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.
The 25-year-old has not been a regular starter for Liverpool but has impressed with his performances whenever called upon. The goalkeeper is interested in regular playing time and he is ready to leave the club in the coming months.
According to a report by TEAMtalkNewcastle United are very interested in his signature and it remains to be seen if they can get the deal done. Newcastle have the finances to pull off the move and it will be interesting to see if they make an official bid to sign the Irish goalkeeper.
the player on Leeds United’s radar too
Kelleher is likely to cost a substantial amount of money and Liverpool will not let him go cheap. However, he could prove to be a solid acquisition for the Magpies. Newcastle need to upgrade players like Nick Pope and Martin Dubravka. The Liverpool goalkeeper would be the ideal acquisition for them.
Kelleher would improve Newcastle
He has helped Liverpool win domestic cup competitions and has impressed with his performances in the Premier League whenever Alisson Becker has been sidelined through injury.
There is no doubt that he also has the quality to succeed at Newcastle. He could be a regular starter for the Magpies and the move would also be ideal for his development.
Liverpool are unlikely to stand in his way if Newcastle come calling in the summer. They have already signed Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will likely compete with Alisson for the starting spot next season.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool and Newcastle can negotiate a move for the highly rated goalkeeper.
