Robertson is now in his 30s and has not been at his brilliant best this term, while his back-up, Kostas Tsimikas, has failed to show in his five years at the club that he has what it takes to usurp Robertson as the team's first-choice left-back.

Milos Kerkez has probably been the player most heavily linked with replacing Robertson, but another name that has cropped up is Antonee Robinson of Fulham.

He is an excellent player but, at 27 years old, Robinson is only three years and five months younger than Robertson, and Liverpool tends to look to sign players who are a little bit younger than he is.

That is one of the reasons why Bournemouth's Kerkez, at 21 years old, feels like a more likely target for the Reds to pursue.
