Georgi Mamardashvili is ready to compete for a starting spot at Liverpool and does not want to spend next season out on loan.

The Georgia international will join from Valencia under the terms of a deal agreed last summer, with the Reds paying around £25million plus add-ons.

His determination to battle Alisson Becker for No.1 status could spell bad news for Caoimhin Kelleher.



Irish stopper Kelleher has deputised this season when Alisson has missed games through injury, but was linked with a summer exit last year and could now see such links resurface.

“I’ll go to Liverpool and give my all, just like I did at Valencia," Mamardashvili told Geo Team.

"I’ll work hard every single day, training with Alisson will help me."

Mamardashvili has remained a regular for Valencia this season, building on his impressive form for his country at last summer's Euros.

Valencia were in the bottom three when they appointed the former West Bromwich Albion boss, but a 10-game unbeaten run from early March leaves them 12th in the table with one game remaining.

During a run in the first-team this season, Kelleher questioned whether his form had priced him out of a move.

I’m not going to enjoy myself or be happy sitting on the bench.”

While Mamardashvili may yet outlast Kelleher at Anfield, surpassing Alisson as first choice is another matter.
