Alberto Moreno has been strongly linked with a move away from Liverpool and if he leaves they should look at Celtic’s Kieran Tierney again.
The future of Alberto Moreno as a Liverpool player remains unclear, with Spanish publication Diario de Sevilla claiming Sevilla want to take the left-back on loan with an option to buy.

The 25-year-old fell out of favour under manager Jurgen Klopp last season, with James Milner being used extensively at full-back as a result despite naturally being a midfielder.
Klopp has been impressed by Moreno in preseason, but the arrival of Andrew Robertson from Hull City suggests that the Spaniard is still not part of the 50-year-old’s first team plans.
However, if the defender does indeed leave Anfield, then Robertson will not be enough as the Merseyside club prepare for a return to the Champions League in 2017/18.
Milner, it has been shown, can fill in, but is that really acceptable for a side with lofty ambitions both domestically and in Europe? Therefore adequate competition for Robertson is needed and that is why they should turn their attention back to Celtic’s Kieran Tierney.
The Mirror reported interest from Liverpool in Tierney back in June after the 20-year-old won plenty of admirers last campaign with his impressive performances for the Bhoys.

Naturally a left-back, the youngster can also play at right-back and has featured in central defence for Scotland; so boasts both youth and versatility.
Celtic may not want to sell Tierney – who is an academy product at his boyhood club – but the Reds have the finances to test both the club and the player’s resolve.
