Out of favour defender Alberto Moreno could be the on the way out of Liverpool, paving the way for a replacement in the summer. And a young Hull City professional could be the ideal replacement.

Liverpool left-back Alberto Moreno could be on his way out of Anfield in the summer, with both AC Milan and Inter Milan thought to be interested, reports ESPN.

Moreno has been out of favour under Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp this season, with all but one of his nine Premier League appearances coming from the bench.

The 24-year-old Spaniard last played a full league game for Liverpool in their 4-3 victory over Arsenal on the opening day of the season, losing his place to a makeshift left-back in James Milner.

Klopp will surely look to strengthen his left-back position in the summer, regardless of whether Moreno departs the club.

With Liverpool often targeting and developing young players, the club could turn to Hull City’s Josh Tymon as a possible candidate.

The 17-year-old, who has yet to agree a professional contract with Hull and the Hull Daily Mail reports he has been linked with a number of moves this season to Premier League rivals – West Ham being his latest destination.

Although Tymon would be unlikely to slot straight into the Liverpool first team, he could learn a lot from the experienced Milner and allow Klopp a little more flexibility in his defence.
