Lloyd Kelly has enjoyed a fine breakthrough season in the Championship with Bristol City, reportedly attracting the attention of Premier League Liverpool.
With Alberto Moreno out of favour, soon out of contract and surely set to bid farewell to Merseyside in 2019, it seems that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is in need of a new left-back.
So could the German boss be looking at a highly-rated Championship youngster to succeed the ill-fitting Spaniard?
The Bristol Post reported earlier in the week that 20-year-old Bristol City talent Lloyd Kelly was attracting interest from clubs in the Premier League, and it seems that Liverpool are among them.
Because ClubCall have now claimed that the Anfield giants sent scouts to watch Kelly in action during Bristol City’s 2-0 defeat away at Leeds United in November.
Kelly has been one of the breakthrough stars of this Championship campaign, starting 16 league games under Lee Johnson. He had a hand in all three goals during the recent 3-2 win away at Ipswich Town, highlighting the youngster’s attacking intent.
The Bristol-born defender, who succeeded Joe Bryan in the Robins’ starting XI when he left for Fulham in August, was rewarded with his first call-up for the England U21s last month.
