Caoimhin Kelleher makes definite statement on Liverpool future

The Liverpool second-choice has been heavily tipped to leave by many.

One of those players who got their hands on a medal was Irish goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher.

The Corkman has made 20 appearances for the Reds, including 10 Premier League appearances, while keeping nine clean sheets this season. Kelleher has been a reliable deputy for Alison Becker over the years, with the Brazilian suffering numerous injuries over that time.

Despite his impressive performances for Liverpool, the Merseyside outfit splashed £30m on Valencia keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Georgian shot-stopper is set to arrive to the Premier League champions next season, after spending this season with Valencia.

Due to this, the 26-year-old has been predicted to leave the club by many due to Kelleher's desire to first choice. This was further fuelled by Kelleher revealing his frustration over the Mamardashvili signing last year.

The Irishman's words on his future in an interview after the game will only add to the speculation that he will leave Slot's side in the summer.

Kelleher said: “I think I’ve said it before that I feel like I’m a No 1, I think I’m good enough to play week-in week-out, and that’s what I’m looking to do.”

He added: “This season, I was lucky enough to play a lot of games but definitely something I’m looking at.”
