With this in mind, Milos Kerkez was brought in from Bournemouth to try and shore up Arne Slot’s defensive line after his breakout season for Bournemouth.

The Scotsman is now 31 years old, so he’s only likely to have a couple of seasons left where he can perform at the top level.

Now Liverpool face the problem of who to get rid of out of Tsimikas and Robertson, as they can’t keep three left-backs around for one position in the team, especially since they have no more non-homegrown spots left among their ranks.
