Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has raved about goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher in The Guardian.

Klopp has said that everyone at Liverpool has been impressed by Kelleher, adding that the 23-year-old is ready for everything and could explode.

The Liverpool boss made the comments about the Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper while discussing the future of German goalkeeper Loris Karius.

Klopp told The Guardian: “I think everyone is impressed by the development of Caoimhin Kelleher, who is ready for pretty much everything.”

Caoimhin Kelleher is second-choice Liverpool goalkeeper

In our view, Kelleher has been superb for Liverpool when he has played and is now the clear second-choice goalkeeper at Anfield.

Alisson is the number one goalkeeper at Liverpool, and that is not going to change anytime soon.

The Brazil international is a world-class goalkeeper who is going as strong as ever.

Now, it is not going to be easy for Kelleher to get ahead of Alisson in the team, but what he has done so far has been very impressive indeed.

The 23-year-old has played twice in the Premier League, twice in the Carabao Cup and once in the FA Cup for Liverpool so far this season.

Kelleher is good with his feet, makes fantastic saves and commands his area well.

We think that Liverpool have a gem in Kelleher.
