However, former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has another idea: Lewis Hall, the ex-Chelsea player that Newcastle signed for a fee that could reach $47 million (£35 million) in 2024.READ MORE: Alisson 'agrees personal terms with Juventus' as Liverpool transfer headache growsREAD MORE: New Liverpool injury scare emerges in training amid Alisson and Alexander Isak update"To be honest, depending on what happens with the Newcastle situation, I'm a huge fan of Hall," Murphy said."I think he's a wonderful player, a brilliant footballer, and when it comes to one-on-one defending, he’s very, very good. It's probably unlikely you're going to get him out because it it looks like Sandro Tonali might go and Anthony Gordon might go."But if Newcastle do have to sell and you can pinch him, even if you have to pay a bit more for him, he's still a young man, he's got the Premier League experience, and I think he's been one of Newcastle's shining lights this season."Murphy believes that Liverpool needs to sign some experience with Robertson moving on.

He hasn't really looked that comfortable playing at right-back.
That can change, I've seen it in the past where players after their first season settle and get more comfortable in their surroundings."At left-back, although Milos Kerkez is a trier and he's improved, is he at the level Liverpool need to win league titles and the Champions League?"My feeling is that he's not. He's probably an understudy; he's probably a back-up.
