Would nicking Kenedy off Newcastle United mean that Alberto Moreno is finished at Liverpool once and for all?

Liverpool are the latest club to show an interest in on-loan Newcastle United star Kenedy.

The Chelsea-owned man has been brilliant since joining Newcastle on a half-season loan in January.

Fans of the North-East club will be desperate to see Rafael Benitez tie up a permanent deal this summer – but the Spanish manager could reportedly face competition.

According to The Chronicle, Liverpool will register an interest in the Brazilian left-back – who can also play left wing – and that must be ominous for Alberto Moreno.

If Liverpool are genuinely keen then it suggests that Jurgen Klopp will offload the unpopular Spanish defender this summer after four years on Merseyside.

Moreno joined the Reds for £12 million [Goal.com] from Sevilla in 2014 under Brendan Rodgers but he has been anything but a success, and Andy Robertson’s arrival last summer has already caused him to play a lot less.

But signing Kenedy would surely kill his Liverpool career entirely, though fans of the Anfield club won’t be shedding any tears. Losing Moreno and gaining Kenedy is a massive upgrade and one that Klopp should do all he can to make happen.
