22-year-old goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool, the club has confirmed.

The Daily Mail claim Liverpool are looking to loan out Kelleher this summer, however.

Allowing the Ireland international to depart Anfield strikes us as an odd decision, given the young goalkeeper snatched Adrian’s place on the bench – seemingly becoming Alisson’s No.2 last term.
