Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward has reportedly been linked with moves away.

Jurgen Klopp, Manager of Liverpool looks dejected after the UEFA Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Liverpool at NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium on May 26, 2018 in Kiev, Ukraine.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will give Danny Ward an opportunity, according to The Telegraph, and that is not positive for Norwich City and Swansea City, with the Championship clubs reportedly interested in the goalkeeper.

The Telegraph has reported that Ward will get an opportunity to stake his claim for a place in the Liverpool first team when he returns for pre-season training.

Good plan

The 24-year-old has been on the books of Liverpool since January 2012 when he joined from Wrexham for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £100,000, but the Wales international has made only a handful of appearances for the Reds’ first team.

Norwich and Swansea are interested in signing Ward from Liverpool in the summer transfer window, according to The Sunday Mirror (print edition, page 68, June 3, 2018) (click here to read more), but it seems that the Championship duo would have to wait for a while.

It makes sense for Ward. After all, the 24-year-old will want to establish himself in the Liverpool first team, and he should make the most of the chance he will (reportedly) get in pre-season.
