'One to keep an eye on': Jamie Carragher suggests Liverpool could sign £15m player in January

Today at 12:15 PM

Things are going swimmingly for Arne Slot at Liverpool right now, but, in recent weeks, one issue has been exposed.

Liverpool are top of the Premier League right now, and things are going very well for the Merseyside club, but there is one issue within the squad.

Left-back is proving to be something of a problem area for Liverpool these days.

Andy Robertson has been criticised for his performances this season, and last weekend he was sent off against Fulham.

Robertson has been an incredible player for Liverpool over the years, but, sadly, it looks like his time at the top-level may be up.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher has been discussing Liverpool's left-back issues, and he's suggested that Milos Kerkez could be an option for the Reds in the January transfer window.

Jamie Carragher says Liverpool could look at Milos Kerkez

Carragher shared his verdict on Liverpool's left-back situation.

The pundit says this is an area Liverpool need to address in January, claiming that Kerkez could be an option due to Richard Hughes' links to the £15m man at Bournemouth.

"Just quickly before we move on, Milos Kerkez has had a lot of hype around him, could you see Liverpool making a move for him?" Carragher was asked.

"Yeah, I think left-back is a position that Liverpool should look to strengthen in January. Andy Robertson needs help, he's a Liverpool legend, he's won the lot, but he needs a bit of help," Carragher said.

"I think that is the one area Liverpool should look to address in January. Richard Hughes must know that player well and likes him. It might be one to keep an eye on. Liverpool didn't do much business in the summer, but that's an area they have to rectify in January rather than waiting until next summer."

Milos Kerkez compared to Andy Robertson

Kerkez has been linked to Liverpool as a potential replacement for Robertson, and that would be a shrewd signing from Liverpool.

The Reds need a new left-back, and Kerkez is shining in the Premier League this year.

The Hungarian has been excellent this season, and he's outperforming Andy Robertson on a number of key statistics.

Of course, we're only halfway through the season, and this may just be a blip in form for Robertson, but the Scot is now 30 years old so Liverpool need to start planning for the future regardless of if his form picks up again.

It's probably a tad too early to write Robertson off completely as a player, but there is a valid argument to make that Liverpool do need a new left-back in January, and Kerkez may well be the man for the job.
