Deal ON!!! Southampton challenge Liverpool for this star defender

Merseyside outfit Liverpool are keen on the signature of Bristol City defender Lloyd Kelly ahead of the coming summer transfer window but they face a big contention from Southampton.

Southampton have long been linked with the signature of the 6ft 2in left back for a long time and they are now ready to land him ahead of the coming season.

More so, the Reds team are keen to land a left full-back as it is unsure of Alberto Moreno will remain at the club in the coming season as he is being linked away with a move to the Italian Serie A and the Spanish La Liga.

Lloyd Kelly has impressed so far with Bristol City to have attracted attention from a club as big as Liverpool at age 20.

The Reds team have got one of the most solid back in Europe but Jurgen Klopp is not ready to take the risk as he hopes to land more additions that will serve as a cover for Virgil Van Dijk in the coming season.

However, Lloyd Kelly would be a good fit for the Reds as the German boss has already shown he has a big belief in young players with Trent Alexander-Arnold as an example.
