Liverpool need to sign a solid left-back in the summer transfer window.
Celtic’s Kieran Tierney and Patrick Roberts celebrate after the match
James Milner has been used as a makeshift left-back this season, and although he has impressed, he surely cannot be a long term solution for that position.
Alberto Moreno has cut a disappointing figure, and has been reduced to bit part roles. Most likely, the Spaniard will be sold this summer.
Here are three potential left-back options for Liverpool.
Kieran Tierney
The 19-year-old has been a key player for Brendan Rodgers’ unbeaten champions this season, and a host of Premier League clubs are interested in him.
Rodgers is under no pressure to sell any of his players, but given his previous association with Liverpool, he might sell Tierney to the Reds if the offer is right.

Ryan Bertrand
According to reports (Liverpool Echo) this week, Liverpool could look to Bertrand to solve their left back issues.
The 27-year-old is an experienced Premier League player and should take no time to settle in. He is defensively strong and very good going forward with a good end product.
He would provide Liverpool the natural width the club has been lacking. Plus, he is playing at his peak and has some good three to four years ahead of him.
Jose Gaya
The 21-year-old Spaniard has been one of the best left-backs in La Liga for a while, and he is being linked with a move away from Mestalla (The Sun) in recent weeks.
Very good at tackling with an eye for picking the right pass, he has the potential to be a world class player.
Valencia could be tempted to sell him if they receive a handsome offer in the summer.
