Former Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian believes Caoimhin Kelleher is a definite target for the Reds.
Adrian, who has now left Liverpool to return to his homeland with Real Betis, told The Athletic: “I have a good relationship with Caoimhin Kelleher. We talk a lot and Jürgen Klopp sees he is ready.”

“He also wants to be the No 1 for Ireland, which will happen if he plays regularly. I know he needs more time to prove himself. I hope he makes the right decision for his future.”
