Liverpool 'prepared to bring in defensive cover'; 2 potential back-ups for Robertson named
  • According to Liverpool correspondent Neil Jones of Goal, the Reds 'would be prepared to bring in defensive cover' but they will only sanction moves 'for the right player'.
  • The left-back slot is one of those positions in Liverpool's squad that requires some investment, with Andy Robertson currently the only senior player available at the disposal of Klopp, who expects the club to get 'creative' in the transfer market.
  • One of them is Jamal Lewis, who is 'well thought of' by the Reds' management team and should be available at a knockdown price after Norwich City's relegation from the Premier League.
  • The 22-year-old has clocked up 27 league appearances for the Canaries, impressing as a part of a backline that has shipped 70 goals in the PL this season so far.
  • The other name proposed by Jones is Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly, who had been linked with a transfer to Anfield last year before he eventually opted to join Bournemouth from Bristol City for £13 million.
  • The 21-year-old has featured just 7 times for the Cherries in their relegation-threatened campaign so far and could be available as a part of a mass exodus at the Vitality Stadium if Bournemouth's drop to the Championship is confirmed.
  • It has also been claimed that the England U21 star's versatility to operate as a centre-back could appeal to the Reds, who are likely to be light on senior options at the heart of the defence after Dejan Lovren's imminent departure.
